VWs came with no options, everything was an add on so they let me have the run of the place. I had a cart full of headers, a AM FM radio, set of 4 Porsche chrome wheels, and all of the chrome add ons that they had. I had a sharp VW 151 when I was done installing it all.

All paid for because I was an employee.
