My love for air cooled
VWs started at a young age, maybe 10 years old, at a Cruizin' Weekend
in Ocean City, MD. My parents took us nearly every year to the classic
car/hot rod event. Of course, I was enthralled by all the blown big
blocks with huge tubbed out rears with more rubber than I'd ever seen
before, after all that's the highlight of the event. But one year,
a group of ratty old slammed Bugs came down the road, and the image
stuck with me for a long time. Longer than I myself even anticipated.
By the time I was 16, with my driver's license, I was hugely interested
in cars and began modifying every car I got my hands on. I did not
however begin with a love for VW. I experienced Ford, Nissan, Lexus,
and a few others before finding my home. At around 20 years old, the
crappy rusted out Beetle that sat in my dad's backyard since I was
a kid (approximately 17 years) took my interest. So, my journey in
the air cooled world began. Read
