    This catches the feel of an experience. It also takes us back to a time when you could believe you were in control. (Full disclosure: We have a Toyota.)

    I second Bill. The diction communicates a beautiful nostalgic feel.

    Robert, I enjoy the read. Thanks for sharing. (Full disclosure: I like VW very much)

    Bill–I guess control is a relative feeling, given the mortality rate in old VW’s. However, the seat-of-the-pants feeling can’t be beat.
    Chen-ou–If that’s nostalgia, it’s where I live…not a bad place to reside in this rush of days. Thanks.
