Gift Guide: Make the VW Lover in Your Life Say Ich Liebe Dich

1: Maisto R/C Samba

Prices for all microbuses have been on the rise of late, but none costs more than the ever popular Samba. But not being born into the amount of money that turns the word summer into a verb doesn’t mean you can’t drive a Samba of your own. You just have to lower your expectations a bit. Buy for a kid, buy it for yourself, nobody can deny the pure delight of a radio-controlled car.

2: LEGO Beetle

This is actually, genuinely a great gift. Everyone kind of wants one of these, but most of us have the economic sense not to drop $100 on something so frivolous. If you were to receive it as a gift, though, that would solve everything.

3: The Complete Book of Classic Volkswagens

I’ve read stuff. You’ve read stuff. We’re both smart. We all got that Much Ado About Nothing was actually all about doin’ it. But my favorite books are about cars. Spend hours with this coffee table book, gazing, longing, lusting at and after classic VWs and actually enjoy a book.

4: VW Tire Valve Caps with Keychain

The perfect stocking stuffer for the person who’s into details. These air valve caps are the perfect way of showing the world that you’ve considered literally every conceivable detail.

5: This ’64 Beetle

It doesn’t matter if you really passionately love or really, really passionately hate someone, this or any number of cheap Beetles on eBay is the perfect way to show someone exactly how you feel. It doesn’t cost much, it’s super cool, and who doesn’t want classic design acting as a lawn ornament while it slowly and very painfully becomes car.

6: Hot Wheels 5-Pack

Another great stocking stuffer for the VW-lover in your life. This five-pack of Hot Wheels features everything you need for an amazing race.

7: Samba Mugs

Who wants to drink out of a boring mug with an even duller message on it? “Need More Sleep?” We all need more sleep. You’re not clever. Instead, enjoy a hot cup of joe in a nice, brightly colored mug that only brings joy, and no groans of annoyance as a dumb joke becomes a little less funny with each passing day.

8: Silicone Key Case

Volkswagen’s keys have gone largely unchanged for nearly two decades now, and while that’s a sign of a strong, classic design, the black can be boring. So why not get something a little brighter with these key cases?

9: Squareback Poster

Shot in the style of VW’s iconic early ads, this poster is the perfect addition to any garage.

10: Service Manuals

Do you have an old VW that you’re fixing up? Take it from us: get a service manual. You may be getting by just reading this forum—and for God’s sake don’t stop—but you also need a service manual.

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.
