The 2002 VW Trends Drive-In Charity Cruise, presented by Commonwealth Volkswagen, is wrapped up, finito, in the books! Another year of fun, cruising along the beautiful Southern California Coast with other air-cooled enthusiasts and owners. If you weren't there this year, you missed out! But don't fret, we're sure to do it again next year. Let it be known that we wouldn't have had much fun if all of you hadn't shown up. So VW Trends would like to thank each and every one of you who came out this year!
Thanks to all our sponsors and stops, we were able to put a car cruise together that was enjoyable to both those awesome people in the cruise and the generous shops. (SCAT, West Coast Metric, Kymco) And last but not least, our final destination, which included something for everyone.
But we at VW Trends want to know more about the cruise from the participants, and even those who couldn't make it out. What did you really like, what needs improvement, what was missing and what really stunk? For those of you that couldn't make it, let us know why.
Are there people across the country who would like to have VW Trends come to their area and put together a cruise? We want to work with you, the reader to make our magazine something unlike any other. We want to meet you in person. Let us know your thoughts.
Email us at trendscruise@mcmullenargus.com with your input.
