Man, Friday was not a good day for VWs and Stop signs. Look at what happened to my friends Jetta when we were headed down to H2O on Fri. We had just left for MD and a stupid lady in the Acura ran the stop sign. He swirved to avoid her and hit a hydrant pole instead. The GTI pictures below also pain me to look at...

My friend Daren totalled his '91 GTI on friday. He broadsided a Porsche Boxter that ran a stop sign. He was travelling at about 50mph, and he walked away from the accident with bumps and bruises. And I agree that the hood took alot of the impact...

Guys, please wear your seatbelt, and make sure your passengers do, too. And if you have those stupid passive restraints(belts attached to the door), switch them out ASAP. Daren and I are both convinced that's what saved him from further injuries.
