Summer of 1968, I drove my dad's '66 Beetle on Sundays at the age of 12½.
May 1986, I bought my first VW -- an '86 Jetta GLI. It gave over a quarter million miles to us.
Sept. 2001, lifelong desire for a convertible went from a Thing or a Karmann Ghia to a 2002 Cabrio. May 2002, desire for a daily driver for my wife went from a Type 4 to a 2002 Golf TDI. At some point, a US magazine had an article on Beetle styles/looks. Read splurb on German Look and was hooked -- an air-cooled solution that fits my style.
