H&R Recaps 2015 Wanderlust Mt. Baker Drive

BELLINGHAM, WA-  On a cool, summer morning, over sixty cars gathered at H&R Special Spring’s North American headquarters for the annual Mt. Baker Drive. Now in its eighth year, the Baker Drive is part of many H&R Wanderlust events that allow people who share a passion for cars and travel to come together.  Participants came from Seattle, Spokane, Portland, British Columbia, and the greater Bellingham area.  Volkswagens and Audis took up most of the real estate in the lot, however, there were also some cool Nissans, Hondas, Fords, and a Supra.  As take-off time approached, car talk quieted and the air filled with performance car exhaust.

The cruise up to the mountain was great.  Sunshine peeked through the trees glimmering onto sporty sedans and hot hatches as they hugged the super tight turns along the highway.  As the air got thinner, the trees opened to beautiful mountain views.  After about an hour and twenty minute drive time, the lead car rolled into the Heather Meadows parking lot.  Bordered by a new 2015 Mustang GT Premium Fastback and a trio of white VW Golfs, the H&R tent was loaded with food, posters, gift bags, and giveaway items – including a 32” TV, Meguiar’s Car Kits, and the coveted H&R Heute.  The H&R Heute is a traditional German-style hat that is given away at each Wanderlust event.  After grabbing a sandwich and gift bag packed full of H&R swag as well as items provided by University Volkswagen, hoods were popped and mods were envied.  Overall, the day was a perfect reflection of the Wanderlust spirit: people showing off their personal style while hanging out with new and old friends, talking about cars, and offering up some love for a great stretch of pavement.

Review: Saying Goodbye to the CC V6

For all its size and its global reach, Volkswagen is still, in many ways, a deeply human company. There was, for instance, the Bugatti Veyron an ego project if ever there was one. Then the purchase of Ducati, a move most called folly. And then there was the Phaeton, the Volkswagen that most folks can’t afford. Not only were these moves all strange, I’m sure that they made VW’s accountants furious. None of them made good business sense, but they were all deeply interesting and they all are evidence of the heart that beats at the center of VW. Among these follies is the CC, a car that everyone agrees is rakishly handsome, but that no one really wanted to buy. The car couldn’t last, but the world is brighter for its having been in it. With the approach debut of the Arteon, it seems like a good time to look back on its sadly departing predecessor. The version I drove, because I live in Canada, is a V6 Wolfsburg Edition, which apparently isn’t available in the States. Nor is the V6, not as...

More 3.0-Liter TDI Settlement Details Expected by January 31

Volkswagen and the TDI Plaintiff’s Steering Committee were in court today for another status conference following the agreement in principal reached earlier this week. Little new information was given at the conference held before Judge Charles Breyer today, but the court ordered the parties to develop a formal settlement agreement, class action notices, and a class notice plan by January 31, 2017. For now, though, owners still don’t know how much to expect in compensation. Elizabeth Cabraser, lead Counsel for the Plaintiff’s Steering Committee reaffirmed in a statement today that the compensation would be “substantial.” The potential cost to Volkswagen is widely reported to exceed $1 billion, though, with an additional $225 million going into an environmental trust to help offset excess emissions. Buy back offers are still only expected for the oldest 20,000 of the roughly 80,000 VW Group vehicles sold in America with the 3.0-liter TDI engine. Those vehicles are mostly SUVs, like ...
