I decided to post my baby up for sale.... A 1972 Volkswagen bus. It has been brought to a professional paint shop, all of the layers of old paint were sanded off down to the metal, and it was then primered and painted two-tone yellow and white. This new pant job has a nice thick clear coat and is only a year old! I tried to make it look like the bus from Little Miss Sunshine, it definitely turns lots of heads with this paint. It has absolutely no rust (other than a little battery tray rust) and only has 1 very small (not noticable) nick in the paint on the edge of the slider door due to a part on it malfunctioning (that I fixed). It is a "Deluxe" bus, which means it has original chrome trim all the way around and curtain rods inside. It also has new side and front turn signal light lenses as well as new chrome headlight housings, and the "eyebrow" headlight covers. It has new exterior door handles on both the passenger and driver side, and a new interior handle for the slider door. The antennae is new as well, and the windshield wipers work and have been recently replaced. The tires only have about 5-10,000 miles on them and still look brand new, I also have a spare tire and even the plastic cover for it! The windshield is brand new as well, with a new seal around it. This car looks nearly show worthy.

As for the engine, it is the stock Type 4 1700cc Volswagen motor. It has a new clutch and the transmission still works like new with no grinding and shifts smooth. I replaced the old carbs with brand new "baby" Weber 34's, and they work like a charm all the while keeping gas mileage good. The alternator, starter, battery, voltage regulator, and a few other small parts are brand new with warranties. It has Thunderbird exhaust that I repainted with high-temperature black paint. The heater is currently not hooked up, but I have heater boxes and all the necessary parts for it to work, I just haven't gotten around to it. It has a new fuel pump and a new regulator for the pump, as well as all new fuel lines and spark plugs/wires. This bus runs solid and is ready to go!

The interior has all 3 rows of seats, 2 of which have towels on them due to the seats needing reupholstered. The back bench and driver seats are in okay condition. It has shag carpet, as well as all of the panels intact. The headliner is just fine, except for a hole above the passenger seat. I replaced the dash with one from a bus of the same year that looks brand new. The speedometer and fuel gauge both work, and it has a cassette deck in it that serves as a good stereo (with ipod connection) with two 5 inch speakers as well in the front doors. The driver and passenger seats now have retractable seatbelts that I put in as well. I also have a couple boxes of random parts and things for the bus that I've collected. One more thing... I put an alarm system on the bus because I didn't want anyone to touch such a beautiful car. It is vibration/movement sensitive and is easy to use.

I think I covered just about everything, but I've done so many things to improve this bus that I forget everything I've done. This bus is in beautiful condition and has been an excellent daily driver for me, and it could be for you as well.

Volkswagen to add 50k jobs by 2018

Thu, 04 Apr 2013

Volkswagen still has its eyes set on becoming the top global automaker by 2018, and to get there, it's apparently going to need more boots on the ground. Automotive News Europe is reporting that VW is looking to increase its staff by 50,000 over the next five years - an increase of nine percent - which does not include an increase in its US dealer network.
According to the report, a majority of the growth will come from China where the automaker is also looking to double its production capacity in the same time frame. The Volkswagen Group is already expected to rival General Motors for the top sales spot in China this year, and such a rapid expansion in the region could make a good springboard for sales increases in other countries.

VW Super Bowl teaser with Jimmy Cliff is like a less-mean Tosh.0 Web Redemption

Thu, 24 Jan 2013

Reggae super-duper-star and Rock and Roll Hall of Famer Jimmy Cliff has been using music to send positive vibes out into the universe for decades now, so its no surprise that his message on behalf of Volkswagen is one of redemption.
Dubbed Sunny Side, this web-spot is VW's warmup of sorts for what promises to be another blockbuster year in the world of Super Bowl commercials. Without giving away the game, the euphonious commercial sees Cliff opening his arms and his heart to some YouTube 'celebrities' that might see courser treatment from the likes of Tosh.0, for instance. We can't help but be reminded of Coca-Cola's legendary 1971 Hilltop spot with the "I'd like to buy the world a Coke" lyric, too.
Enjoy the pre-Super Bowl VW spot below, and don't forget to pay it forward... your karma will thank you. For those of you that just can't get enough of commercial-making magic, we've included a "making-of" video, as well.

2013 Volkswagen Jetta Hybrid

Tue, 12 Feb 2013

More Fun Than A Prius, Less Sensible Than A TDI
Let's have some fun, and do some math. We're talking pretty rudimentary stuff, multiplication and division, to figure out if the upcoming Volkswagen Jetta Hybrid can make a baseline case for itself against two very strong competitors in this segment. The competitors in question, at least for now, are two more Jettas: the diesel-drinking TDI and the fit-for-the-masses SE with VW's long-serving 2.5-liter engine.
To keep the equations clean and simple (hey, we're writers), we'll calculate based on the most flattering EPA miles per gallon stat from highway driving for all cars, assume a healthy 20,000 miles driven per year, and factor in today's average cost for the respective fuels these three require: diesel (TDI), regular (SE) and premium (Hybrid). We'll also start with the base prices for all models.
