History

Our first meeting was held above the showroom of Les Marks Chevrolet in La Porte Tx.As the weathered cooled off, we decide to meet at Sylvan Beach Park.
These were great until the mosquitos tried to carry us off.They were very hungry.So now we meet at the Kettle in Pasadena Tx.The club was formed in October of 1989 and is still going strong today.The Bay Area Volkswagen Club is a family oriented club and exists solely for the members enjoyment.Ownership of a VW is not required for membership.This club is great... Were at it again having more fun than ever,so if you a V.W. manic please join the club.

Keeping Your Car Cool

Did you know that in 95 degree heat, the air in your car reaches approximately 146 degrees and the steering wheel can reach 158 degrees? So what can you do about it? First, you can tint your car windows. Clear glass magnifies the sun and intensifies the heat. If that's too expensive, buy manual sunshades. They come in cheap cardboard or reflective material. You can also buy shades for the back side windows where your kids are. To avoid hot steering wheels, put a towel over the wheel to absorb sun while your car sits.

Washing and Waxing Tips

Most cars now come with a clearcoat finish, which tricks owners into thinking they don't need wax. Actually, you should wax your car 3-4 times a year. Most manufacturers also recommend washing your car once a week. Remember to start washing your car only when the car's surface is cool and only after rinsing the entire car. Rub gently, one section at a time, and use specific car wash products--never household cleaners. After rinsing your car well, dry it with a soft, clean cloth.
