Anyone drive a "Touareg" - Volkswagen?

[teaberryeagle]

Well!!! Sold mine........anticipating future costs (80,000 mile preventive maintenance),
new tires (excessive cost on this vehicle) (all in neighborhood of $2,000) plus it used
premium gasoline ('bout 14 mpg) with rising prices..........too much to look forward to
so sold it to a guy from Colorado, who flew to Richmond, VA and drove it home.
Actually sorry to see it go, but thought I had better consider a newer, more economic vehicle......

Here's some photos of the inside and outside......

My first VW was the "Beatle" back in the 70's.....
here's some fun videos that shows what it looked like...........
and, from the Commercials, may be making a "comeback" for 2012....
guess we'll know when they show it.......

The above links you provided are courses for relieving a "Speeding Ticket" with the DMV.....known as "Virginia Ticket Dismissal" courses..
I have already been indoctrinated with this course..
I think you probably had in mind such courses as I have included here....
the VW Touareg is definitely a vehicle with characteristics of its own and all of which have to be considered while driving......
Ie; heavy vehicle, top heavy vehicle, powerful, and braking distances...
but, this type course is great for any driver.....
if everyone had to attend one before going on the road, there may be a lot fewer disasters....

I ran across this one while I was visiting in Williamsburg, VA the other day and clicked a couple photos as it drove along the street.....it looks exactly like the one I used to own,
and this one was for sale......just noticed its counterpart in the last photo.........
