[Vwdiesel] Anniversaries

[Shalyn Shourds]

Badges: Mercedes does/did that and Volvo, I know does judging by all the
ones on Dad's cars.  I guess VW just assumed they'd go that far.

If it doesn't roll the odometer in awful, fast traffic, I'll get a picture
to post somewhere.

I wonder if I could get the hood dipped somewhere....  I would get another
hood, but I'd like to keep at least a few original parts :)
