Is there one at the visitor's center in the plant? I've never been I don't think. I do know they have a DriverGear store.

Pretty sure there is no vw museum,  unless they have kept it super secret from all the vw crazies around here

Thought I saw a t-bucket broke down on the west bound side of the ridge cut. Turns out they stopped because their friends got in a wreck. Looked like a t-bucket was in the fast lane and hit the concrete barrier. It was then t-boned by a another t-bucket. They looked fubared and there were people laid out. I got a sick feeling in my stomach. If you guys are the praying type, pray for the out of town car enthusiasts; it didn't look good...

Saw the T-buckets over the weekend downtown when I was tooling around in the big finned beast.  There was mutual affection going on.   8)

I went down to see them at Coker and followed them to the Choo Choo. Lots of neat cars down there and I highly recommend any car nuts swing by to check it out.

I asked how their friends were and both people survived. The wife was ejected and thrown to the pavement. She broke her collar bone and has swelling in her head, but is expected to get out of ICU before the weekend. The driver was bruised, but I believe he is ok. Apparently something broke and took them a hard left into the wall and crashed. I saw the bucket and it looked rough. Glad they are ok.
