I prefer schadenfreude (as I assume most of woot would agree), which means “malicious enjoyment derived from observing someone else’s misfortune” :smiling_imp: :joy:

Makes me miss our 77 vw scirocco (we even had the t-shirts). It was very fun to drive. Once we we able to find a decent mechanic, it was a lot more reliable :grin: It replaced an early 70’s Datsun 510. That thing was a slug.
