I've had umpteen VW's myself, ranging from thrashed old beaters to a very nice Karmann Ghia. My wife and I got acquainted because our parents knew each other and when her parents told my mom that she was having trouble keeping her '67 on the road, my mother volunteered me to work on it. For free. But hey, she bought me beer, and in two months we will celebrate our 15th anniversary, all because of a Volkswagen.
