VW Garage Talk podcast
Welcome to VW Garage Talk where we talk all things VW, from air-cooled classics to water-cooled rides. Whether we’re wrenching on my ‘73 Beetle, ’71 Westy, or ‘61 SO23 Subhatch, hitting up car shows, cruising with friends, or local VW meets, it’s all about the VW lifestyle & culture. Join me, Craig (BrewDub), as I share my car stories, roadtrip experiences, rescues, chat with fellow VW peers, and welcome guests into the garage to talk about their rides. Whether you’re restoring a classic or showing off a sick GTI, we’ve got a spot for you in the garage. #VWScene #VWCommunity #VWPodcast
