VWs getting a little respect...
I grew up with copies of Hemmings Motor News laying around. And there was a certain, snooty-ness to the magazine back in those days. Like people in Australia who were considering buying a Duesenberg were reading it. Of course, I read it as a very young person to see what the Mustangs were going for (before I knew better).
With that in mind, I was surprised and excited to see that they covered a VW event last month. Actually, they have been good about covering VWs for the last few years, but it's good to see a VW show getting some solid respect and coverage...

It must've happened sometime in the late 90s, early 00s, but prices (esp. on Splitties and Splits) just started climbing and climbing. They are collectible now, no doubt about it. I suspect in ten years or so Bays will start to get their due.
Alright,
Mitch.
