so far every one is right on target with their reasons for being so entusiastic about their rides, and completely enveloping theire lives around the GL community...
I tell you that my reasons for getting started in the Germanlook is simply being a VW nut from my early child-hood, my family never owned or even worked on a VW and I was never exposed to them either. I remember exactly when I first noticed the odd looking car for the very first time, I was ridding in the back seat of my mom's 1970 Caddy DeVille and noticed a white car scream by the window, I can even remember asking my mom what kind of car it was, I was about 9yrs old at the time...
Several years passed and I began working on ditbike and Harleys.
One day my freind asked me if I would like to help him and his dad work a car that he bought, it was a 1971 superbeetle, and it looked almost exactly like the one I saw that day those many years ago...
After spending a couple years away from my family I finaly came home and got a job... saved up enough money to buy myself a car...my first choice was a Beetle, I bought a 1966 standard on a 58 pan, cut up the body to make a baja ( because out here in Nevada you really like to have one). Then as I was reading my VWTrends back in 2001 (I dont remember which month exactly) I read an article on the German Look VW. I was sold, right then and there I wanted to buy a another VW and and start ove rin a German Look kinda style with a little added flair as I saw fit...BEEN A GL FANATIC EVER SINCE!
what has kept me going ( with out support, I might add) is the fact that I know I have the abbility to build an amazing car on built for speed and handling, while encorporating outragious cosmetics and A/V componants.
My motto: "form=function=luxury=comfort"
Actually I think that NYBugman1972 said it better:

The mos exciting part about the German Look for me? Teaching an old dog new tricks. Innovation. The desire to be different.

I know that what I build is awsome and unique just as every one elses vehicle is, unique in their own way, I think that is what helps bring the German Look community togetherand allows everyone to be open and help those in need with their oppinions and experiances:
Thank You GL.com... thank you for helping me when no one else would! I really appreciate it alot
