Did anyone hear about the guy who had a Skyline stolen, posted it on a forum. Then it was spotted by a few kids, on kid even got a very very clear picture on his camera of the passenger. Not even 48 hours later the car was recovered by police.

The internet is a great source, that's for sure.

they would buy a vw because of build quality, ride and general looks. compare a vw and a lexus at similar prices and there's no comparison!
