Yup. That is probably what he meant. Unless he loves roller coasters

Sad to hear that the VW badge got flicked. Luckily down here in Kerala, flicking badges is not a common occurence. I read somewhere that VW had reduced the price of the badge from Rs. 2000 to less than Rs. 1000? Not sure.

But here in Kerala miscreants especially target brand new cars and scratch the whoel car with sharp objects. My manager's SX4 left 2 doors were scratched extensively and i have heard it's a common experience here and need to be careful were you park your car.

Sankar
