stimulate the local guy


i know what you’re thinking…well get your mind out of the gutter at least up to the top of the curb! we thought we would begin forcing those we like into cruising their classics to food establishments of our choice. the idea behind this again…is to get folks to cruise their vws to somewhere good to eat which is a local all around family place making real money for the better of the community…plus, we really dig seeing more than one sweet ride outside…it’s cool. take part in a stimulate the local guy meal…the next…sunday, november 15th, buenos grill, reno, 5pm.

the scofields


WARNING: THIS POST COULD BE LENGTHY

dad, mom, four kids, volkswagens and lots of love make up these folks. they have dads and moms, brothers and sisters, aunts and uncles which at any given time are present in the household. they are involved with church, schools, clubs and youth groups. being artistic and creative, endeavors have been taken on: tattooing, craft shows, painting, home décor, baking parties, scrapbooking, etc. they’ve owned their fair share of vws: a couple squares, bugs, a notch and a few buses…all hers. you’ve seen them at shows, bbqs, parks and maybe been tattooed by them. their kids have played with yours. they’ve touched our hearts, been great friends, helped when we needed it and been there at any given moment. we will miss how close they have been all of these years (even though they’ve gotten further each time they relocate) but are indeed happy about their new ventures and new life in redmond, washington. congratulations and best of luck, we love you guys!

the dark side


is there really a vw dark side...


would it be considered a water boxer...something that's not '67 or earlier...this past month or so, if the dark side is what it seems...we've gone there and back 3 different times...a trade of a thing for a gti, the falcon went for a jetta and the fj was replaced by this...an '87 westy...


nice, isn't she?

YAHOO!


not the engine search.
it's the kind of YAHOO! like you've just won the lottery,
spotted the ultimate barn find you could afford,
caught the big one,
scored a 3 pointer,
landed your dream job,
pocketed the number of a hot chick,
got an "A" on a really hard exam,
won a skid competition,
was happy with a haircut,
slept in your own bed after a really long trip,
mastered an exquisite meal...or got rid of a nasty car payment.
we did the latter...YAHOO!
