I'm 32, grew up in Germany until age 8 (parents are German) when we
moved to Pittsburgh, PA.  BTW, we had an Open Kadett and Mercedes
200D in Germany...no VWs.  My grandfather did get one of the original
Beetles after the war though.

I learned to drive on our '72 bug, which my parents sold before it
needed another motor rebuild ...mistake in hindsight, of course.

We (wife Kristina and I) just got our '87GL last year and aside from
it nickel and diming us a bit, it's been a fun vehicle.  I'm having
fun learning about the "how works a Volkswagen" (a la Muir).  Look
forward to meeting some more of y'all this summer at various events.
We're in eastern PA and should be listed in the coming LiMBO TTT
directory, including C&C (coffee and conversation offered) so stop on
in if you're in the Allentown, PA area.
