I'm 33.  I got my first VW at the age of 14.  My father gave me the choice of a '79 Rabbit or a Mustang of similar vintage.  I guess that was one of those life changing decisions.  I've been a VW owner ever since.  At the time he owned an auto shop.  The rabbit was wrecked.  He gave me the car and access to the shop and tools.  I learned a lot rebuilding it with him.  I've still got the Rabbit, plus a Jetta and a Vanagon.  I've driven various Rabbits, Golfs, Vanagons, and a Scirocco.

  The intersting thng is that I've passed along this VW sickness to my kids.  My 9 year old has a pretty nice collection of split window bus toy cars.  Last year he even talked me into helping him build a Vanagon for the Cub Scout Pinewood Derby.  (It was really slow).
