Although with that "disgusting compression ratio", it will probably run on almost anything!

When you don't know what you're doing, it's best to do it quickly.

And when I’m gone, you can call me foolish but hopefully not boring. I will have lived.

The more I learn about women, the more I like my car.

And, Snopro, run almost forever. My daughter has a 1953 Minneapolis 'U' that is still running nicely, but it might have been rebuilt once, I don't know. That's almost 70 years.
Back to the V-dub, it looks and sounds cool. Those are the important things.
