Choice Gear: DriverGear Fall Collection

Somehow, despite what the calendar suggests, we’re still seeing temperatures in the 50s and 60s on a regular basis at our Pennsylvania offices, and quite a few leaves have yet to hit the ground. It seems that traditional Fall weather may linger through Thanksgiving and into December, and that Volkswagen DriverGear’s Fall Collection just might remain part of your normal wardrobe for the foreseeable future.

1949 Henley
If there is anything to be learned from the department store emails that assault my inbox on a daily basis, it’s that Henleys are back in style. Featuring a contrasting cardinal color scheme rather than the more common Volkswagen blue, this shirt is perfect for being undercover while still professing your love for Volkswagen.

Cable Knit Beanie

These warmer temperatures aren’t going to stick around forever, and when they finally do plummet, you’ll need DriverGear’s Cable Knit Beanie. Finished in the distinct dark blue and white VW team colors, and featuring the Volkswagen emblem resting prominently on the front, your brand allegiance will be unmistakable.

Retro Raglan Fleece

Taking inspiration directly from the world of sports and combining it with a twill stitched Volkswagen script featured prominently on the front, the Retro Raglan Fleece is perfect for tailgating. Featuring a 7.7oz cotton blend, it’ll keep you warm when temperatures dip to a more seasonal level.

Variegated Foam Cap

While technically part of DriverGear’s Fall Collection, the Variegated Foam Cap is destined to be a year-round favorite. Featuring the Volkswagen emblem prominently on the front and snap adjustment, this hat is an instant classic.

Pom Knit Cap
Much like the Cable Knit Beanie from above, the Pom Knit Cap features the same thermal effectiveness, but with a decidedly more vintage feel. At just $20, it seems like a keeper.

Polka Dot Beanie

Looking for something a bit less obviously Volkswagen? The Polka Dot Beanie is exactly what you’re after with very subtle branding, and a look-at-me color scheme.

Ladies RipStop Puffer Vest
Designed to keep your core insulated regardless of the outside temperature, the full-zip DriverGear Ladies RipStop Puffer Vest is great way to stay warm this winter. Available in any color you want, as long as that color is bright green, the vest is also waterproof, which makes it just that much more practical.

Ladies’ Script Hoodie
The DriverGear Ladies’ Script Hoodie lets everyone know you’re a fan of the brand without throwing it in anyone’s face. Made from a 3.7oz cotton blend, this medium weight screen printed hoodie will be in style for years to come.

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

Waterfest Moves to Atco Dragway

Waterfest 24 will be held at Atco Dragway, in Atco, New Jersey. The summer event will take place at its new venue on July 21 and 22. Long held in Englishtown, New Jersey, the festival has been such a large part of the VW scene that the latest iteration of the Golf even comes with optional “Englishtown” wheels . The new venue, however, is an NHRA drag track a scant 52 miles southwest of Englishtown. The ¼ mile drag track opened in 1960, which makes it the oldest drag strip in New Jersey. The announcement came today on a social media post that announced the new location. Waterfest is North America’s largest VW/Audi show. As many 20,000 people show up for the annual show, making the second largest show in the world—with Worthersee being number one. 2018 will be Waterfest’s 24 th year in existence.
