Wow! You've gotten your money's worth. :-). I've had 6 VW's. a '71 conv Karmann Ghia, '72 hardtop Karmann Ghia, '01 Passat wagon, '05 beetle conv, my new Touareg TDI and a two year old Golf TDI. Love 'em!

Yes, while I have my list of problems with VW the company I have stuck with various versions of the golf for a long time. I bought my current 01 off the showroom floor and just passed 275K with it.

I'm impressed by how Baldwin remembers me and everyone else despite meeting countless supporters. She also seems really sharp when you hit her with questions about bills,even if they're outside the talking points.

That's exactly right. They're complaining of the very things they do! They're bullies. I'm glad they were rejected!

And their attack on a company making pitches for the union on company grounds isn't coercive? They want it their way, but scream foul when things don't go their favor.
