Cool Cars with Dad and Bill - 1989 VW Westfalia

Dad: "Here's a fun little autobus. This one is an umm... let's call it 1989 VW Westfalia."

Bill: "Whoa, big bad dad doesn't know exactly what this one is this time eh?"

Dad: "Well VWs are a bit hard to peg down sometimes. They tend to not change much from year to year unless they need to. Very practical and Prussian of them."

Bill: "I don't know what that means. I also don't know what VW means. Is that the guy's initials?"

Dad: "It stands for Volkswagen. Which of course means "people's car."

Bill: "Why don't they just call it Peoplescar?"

Dad: "They did. But it's in German. That's a different language so they have different words."

Bill: "Why is it in German when you said it was Prussian?"

Dad: "That's a very interesting question! You see, it all started with the Teutonic Knights and..."

*Bill's eyes glaze over*

Bill: "Save it. We'll just say because of knights and stuff."

Dad: "I never get to tell my stories..."
