A male driver has to choose between his girlfriend and his inner Fast, which lives and loves to accelerate in the VW GTI. The female passenger wants to roll up the car window because her hair is getting mussed up by the wind as the VW motors along. But rolled up windows don’t aerodynamically jibe with Fast’s need to go fast. The driver’s choice is clear�Fast gets the nod over female companionship.
