VW is having a great year, I'm still a bit worried at the quality of what is coming out of those Mexican factories, The Routan recall, fuel line recalls and co.

But resale values stay high and so does ride quality, they are doing something right

To the union guy on the assembly line, any "suit" is overpaid. Everyone has their perspective.

NOTE: This is *not* a commentary on what you, or anyone else does for living. It is a commentary on how people's perspectives can be skewed, depending on their beliefs. One of those beliefs is who "deserves" to be wealthy. *My* thinking, is those who *can* get wealthy, do, and those who can't, sometimes get jealous of the first group.
