Its great to hear stories of people who are genuinely nice. I've heard similar stories of brand-camaraderie when I used to peruse the Aircooled VW newsgroup, rec.autos.makers.vw.aircooled (RAMVA as they call it) .. my favorite was a guy who drove a Type I (beetle) and he saw another beetle pulled over on the highway, so he stopped. It was 3 young college girls whom he was more than willing to give a ride to :) |
