QuoteWith the giant animal only ten metres away, John hoped the elephant might walk on by.

But it soon became obvious the elephant had other things on its mind.

"It was then that I noticed he was in lust," he said.

With his Volkswagen Passat at that. Photos at link.

Ooh the legal department is going to love this story.

The new Volkswagen Passat.

*may attract lustful rampaging elephants. Operate with caution.

I guess I'm not the only one who really, really liked the B5 Passat.

I don't care about all that shit.  I'll be going to college to get an education at a cost to my parents.  I'm not going to fool around.

She'll hate diesel passenger cars, all things Ford, and fiat currency.  They will masturbate to old interviews of Ayn Rand an youtube together.

You're my age.  We're getting old.  Plus, now that you're married, your life expectancy has gone way down, since you're more likely to be poisoned by your wife.

This would have raised some interesting questions at the car wash the next day.

You'd also need to have average or above reliability.

Yeah, yeah ... if it was one of your beloved Toyota, Honda or other crap, it would have dissintegrated. So yeah, the guys were very lucky to have been inside the Passat.
