2010 Volkswagen GTI: You Write the Caption

2010_vw_gti_cowtown_2_1600.jpg 

Howdy folks,

Vehicle Testing Manager Mike Schmidt sent me this photo of our VW GTI a hop, skip and a jump from here.

We suggest: Sashays from 0-60 in a do-si-do

I'm sure you can do better. For a closer look at the sign, click the thumbnail below.

We'll call the winner this afternoon.

Donna DeRosa, Managing Editor
