[s-cars] Vag Slush

[David Kase]

Hello?  Bill, is that you?  AWD or FWD?  really dude?

Having said that, I drove a DSG GTi on the 'ring (yes, THAT ring) and it was
wonderful.  Even leaving it in auto mode it shifted at the perfect time
under all conditions. Very cool.

Before my stint in the GTi I got a ride around the track in an R32 -
AMAZING!  The driver knew the track very well and he had that car in 4 wheel
drifts just to have it grab hold and shoot down the next straight.  He
passed a GT3, bikes and a 3rd gen RX7.  Really, really nice car.
