    Question Volkswagen Scirocco

    How the hell do you pronounce that? I just saw a reference to it on Family Guy..."Shi-rock-o"...that's how you say it?

    Wow, that sounds bad-ass.

    "I drive a Scirocco."

    I remember seeing my first Scirocco. That was ages ago, and I've wanted one ever since.

    BTW, the "Sc" is pronounced like an "Sh", so it it is "shur-rock-o"

    I like them...I like the Corrado better. Corrado doesn't sound nearly as bad-ass as Scirocco though.

    Oh well...Corrado/Scirocco appreciation.

    Scirocco's are cool little cars.
    I've owned 2 over the years; a '81 S, and a '88 16V.
    Also had a VR6 Corrado.............wanted to tubocharge it, but I couldn't afford to do that back in '98.

    Yeah you say it just like they did on family guy. Cool cars, but like you said Corrados are better.

    Pistons and valves dont overlap so if a timing belt break your motor has a better survival rate.

    Why would they ever do that?

    Mmm...Scirrrrrrrocco.
