Der FAHRVERGNATTIX Klub House
In the summer of 1987 is the first time I can remember ever laying eyes on a Volkswagen. I was only about 5 years old. My uncle John came back and visited me from college. Then he played a joke on me that I don't think I will ever forget. He was telling me about his car and it's "HERBIE" powers. The way it would sing a song to me if I said a certian word. He told me to say "DIXIE" and WOW!! that car played the same song that the General Lee did on the Dukes of Hazzard (My Favorite Show). Cool, I said, I want one. Then he left. Well, this August,of '97, I got my Beetle at the age of 15 but no matter how many times I said "DIXIE" the stupid thing didn't play it. About in September, of the same year, I asked him how did he get the car to sing? "What are you talking about?" he said. "Your beetle played any song I told it to and mine doesn't!" I said. Then a short laugh, followed by a longer laugh, and then an uncontrollable laugh, and he said "I had almost forgetten. You still believe that?" "Well, Yeah, what's so funny?" I asked. Then he went to his closet and pulled out his briefcase. Then he opened it up and with everything I had sent him while he was in college, there was a musical horn sound control box. "I saved it for you" he said. So that day we installed it in my car and now I go through town and play it.
