No, originally mention was made of "the people's car", and in response I pointed out that that is a socialist concept with its roots in NAZI Germany. The rest is history, and it is relevant to the origins of the idea. I seem to have touched a nerve with you for having mentioned it.

Did I mention my mother was born in Stuttgart in 1936 and lived there through the '50's?
You did now. But why are you telling us that and why should anyone care? Perhaps that is why you are so touchy about anyone mentioning anything to do with the National Socialist regime.

I don't think you are "slow" at all. I think your problem is a different one.

Nope. I'm not an enthusiast of beer or biergartens, or of the "people's car".
