Eagle, Porsche used to own VW, right? Back then the Karman Ghia used a Porsche engine and was one fine little car. VW is headquartered in Mexico now, isn't it?

I noticed you were absent from the discussion re: Republicans. I went by and left a condescending message about my thoughts on RWReagan, that should raise some eyebrows at least. I am accustomed to hanging out on the AL.com blogs for Auburn, but the blogger has become so protective that he usually deletes my messages before they are published. I don't think the content of my messages make them worthy of publishing but the work required to type them is worthy of at least consideration to publish. Anyway, I am just wandering around and thought you might be in. Catch you later.

I am very vague about the VW / Porsche thing. From what I understand Porsche holds 42% of VW, and VW holds 42% of Porsche.

Also VW holds Audi, Lamborghini, Bugatti and Scania (Is that just the trucks by SAAB?) and Bentley. So are all of these partially owned by Porsche because they own 42% of VW?

I'm more of a BMW guy myself .. heh.
