The Volkswagen Scirocco Rekindles A Forgotten Fury

You could say that Jason Cammisa knows cars. With a day job at Road & Track, he has full access to the world’s best vehicles—but still comes back to his humble Volkswagen Scirocco. “This car definitely changed the path of my life because it forced me to be a mechanic,” Cammisa says, “I was in college…there was no way I would have been able to keep this car—I don’t think I could still have this car—if I had to pay somebody to work on it.” Most owners would look at its constant maintenance requirements as a negative, but he says that, ultimately, it’s a valuable experience.
