In early 1984, my father and I made a trip to the Las Vegas Auto Show . . . the first time I had ever laid eyes on a Volkswagen Cabriolet - a triple white Boutique edition at that. I was so enamoured with the car, that I vowed someday I would have one.
I began driving in 1991, and my very first car was a 1973 VW Beetle. The subsequent list of former cars reads like a water-cooled VW who's who. I bought a 1989 Jetta GL, that was subsequently totalled, a 1991 Passat GL, a 1992 Jetta GLi, a 1995 Golf VR6, and finally, I bought a brand new 1997 Windsor Blue VW Cabrio. My dream - realized.
However, I had really wanted a Jazz Blue Cabrio, and the fact that I never found one in the specs that I wanted, never really left me.
Eventually in Dallas in May of 2002, I did find a Jazz Blue Cabrio optioned with everything I had ever wanted. Power everything including the roof, black leather, a manual. This was THE CAR.
And now, without further ado, The Jazz Blue.
The very first photo I took of my new car. June 1st, 2002 on Lower Greenville in Dallas.
