I saw a guy driving a Ragtop S model today with a "Bra" covering the scoop for the intercooler.

Is that like in NASCAR when they put tape over the grill to raise engine temps? LOL

Well if it is a R56 they were not functional unless he changed it.

I'm not gonna lie, I hate the stupid big fuzzy mustache. Saw many people in California with those.

i've only seen those eyelash things on vw bugs. while it makes more sense on that car, it's still stupid. i actually was playing with them at the dealer while the golf was in for service, they're freaking huge. i was pretending i was a venus fly trap and getting laughed at by my husband. one of the sales guys started throwing paper into the "trap" then offered us pizza saying he figured i was hungry lol at least they have a sense of humor there

Saw a Straight Cooper pulling a camper on my way back from Florida last week. Not a pop-up or tear drop either - it was a short, full height camper.

I'm sure they had it all sorted out, but they were kind of a hazard in the right lane going much slower than I-95 traffic...
