This Karmann Ghia that's our Feature Volkswagen has a touching story that will get you right in the heart. Son Griffin writes, "My parents bought this amazing car in 1974, after they moved from Boston to the suburbs. As the only owners, this beauty was primarily used as an everyday car throughout the 1970s and into the early 1980s. My Father, who was a merchant marine kept this car in mint condition himself until it was garaged for nearly a decade into the 1990s. After having it professionally restored and keeping her all original he continued to maintain it himself for use in the summer." Read - The Beloved Ghia >>

VolksWoman writes, "My dad was of the opinion that if you learned to drive on a stick shift, you'd end up being able to drive anything. Car, truck, van, whatever it was, you'd be able to handle it. As a result, all four of us kids learned to drive on stick shift autos. In fact, there was no such thing as an automatic transmission in my family. And, to this day there still isn't: my 83 year old mother still drives all three manual shift cars she has (one of them a 1971 Datsun 240Z). Over the years the sticks that have shifted in and out of our family have been a varied bunch, but I drove them all, even though some of them I drove badly. " Read - Stick it >>
