People who drive VW Jettas only think they have paid this tax... as a messenger and rider I found that Jetta drivers were the worst after anyone driving a Hummer.
On an extremely somber note, a cyclist was killed in January in Key Biscayne, FL by a hit and run VW Jetta driver that was drunk, driving on a suspended license, and possibly texting at the time. He hit the cyclist, left him there to die and kept going and dragged the bicycle for at least 3 miles.
