The History of All Histories ...

Volkswagens have been an important part of my life, dating back to grade school, when my parents bought the first "family" Volkswagen, to present day. While there have been significant lapses in time where I did not own one, my passion for them has never waned. 

Recently, my older sister re-acquired a 1970 Type 2 that my family had previously owned. Suffice it to say, the jealously over this is REAL and it reignited my passion to get one with the intent of restoring it; enter Eleanor. After suffering a major health issue in May 2021, I learned that my wife started looking for a Volkswagen project for me. Her idea was that work had created a ton of stress and I needed something that I was passionate about to re-direct positive energy into.

The remaining pages, under this section will tell the story of each of the Volkswagens that have been a part of my life and developed my passion. While the order in which they are listed is somewhat chronological, I am compiling this from memories that are over 20 years old, so there may be a few inaccuracies. Hopefully my mom and sister will be able to fill in any gaps and/or errors. Should that occur, I will update the history accordingly.

With that, welcome to the history of all histories!
