Not quite the “super car” performance of Ariel’s Atom, but at less than $17 large, how can you not want one of Volkswagen’s motorcycle crossover concepts?

I miss the thick, loud pop the original switch made. The recall replacement part makes a thin click that sounds like the signal in every other car. Maybe i’ll find a scrap one and stick it in until it breaks, and keep the recall part as a backup. The original sound was distinctly Volkswagen and part of the identity of this car.

I’m getting tired of the current VW commercials with the girl who can’t pronounce Volkswagen.

But maybe that’s a good thing, otherwise i’d be rippin’ off the line at every light without even trying, and might end up getting myself in trouble.
