It's 2004 and a young Buehler has finally got his N so here he goes in his "new" '90 Nissan Micra COUPE!

Luckily, he totalled it 2 weeks later driving like a retard hopping over a 4 ft deep by 4 ft wide ditch and into a cliff face after experiencing the physics of centrifugal force and wet roads.

Which led him to his Dodge 2000 GTX which we don't speak of and THAT inspired his wise father to find him this

'86 Jetta Carat with Rikken's, previously owned by Cam's future father-in-law

That car did me real good and started the hunt for more which led to sciroccos which led to parts hunting which led to VWDOV and the rest is history :D

That Jetta unfortunately got t-boned and it survived in a two tone form for a while but developed electrical gremlins that ate it up. One day I hope to loop back to that gold beauty that I was proud enough to take to my grad :)


What's your first car/vw story?

first dub, 88' 2 door golf, got it for $500, 130,000 on it, yeah, pulled good, guy thought the trans was gone, it was just the trans mount.(i don't have a pic of the damn car anywhere, you can kinda see it in the bug pic)

traded it for a 69' bug, soon after that, so i usually think of this car as the one that started the dub love....

This was my first car. 1992 Jetta. When I sold it 2 years ago it had 146,xxx km and the paint was still mint. Drove this beast out from ontario. 3 Speed auto, digi2 and a huge sub-box that made it look like a boat. I had it on voxx 17's for the last 2 years of its service with me. Still see every once in a while, but its been beat to shit. Makes me a little sad.
