Air-Cooled Volkswagen Club @ Ontario VW's Oktoberfest Classic Air-Cooled Volkswagen's are some of the most identifiable vehicles on the road - any road. Whether you happen to... be celebrating Oktoberfest in Germany, visiting another European country or find yourself anywhere in the world - especially right here in Southern California. As part of Ontario Volkswagen's Second Annual Oktoberfest Car Show, two 'Best of Show' awards were given out... because you can't give just one. You have Air-Cooled and you have Water-Cooled - the division among V-Dub Lovers. Even though it's a fun-loving division amongst Volkswagen fans the division is there nonetheless. There are even Volkswagen car clubs dedicated to one or the other. In this iDriveSoCal Podcast, I'm joined by the leader of one of the Air-Cooled Clubs, who also happened to take home some Best of Show hardware, from Ontario VW, himself. ***Transcription*** Recording date – October 28, 2018, in Ontario, CA Air-Cooled @ Ontario VW's Oktoberfest 2018 Danny Aceves: I have a 1965 Volkswagen 13 Window Deluxe. Just going crazy on it trying to do as much as possible. Have as much fun as I can in that thing. One of the first things when I got that bus, I said, "I can't have the school-bus-look-thing here. I got to... " Me and my son got together, we put our heads together, we did that. Tom Smith: Ontario Volkswagen Second Annual Oktoberfest. Were you here last year? Danny Aceves: No, I wasn't. I just heard about it this year, and I said, "Oh man, we got to do this." Tom Smith: Hi, and I can hear you, smile. Welcome to iDriveSoCal the Podcast, all about mobility from the automotive capital of the United States, Southern California. Tom Smith here, and we are out at Ontario Volkswagen in the Los Angeles suburb of Ontario, California. Outside the dealership, quite literally, during the Second Annual Ontario Volkswagen Oktoberfest. Joining me is one of the, not only participants of Oktoberfest Auto Show but also a leader of a car club that was out here in force. Danny, can you please pronounce your last name for me? Danny Aceves: Aceves. Tom Smith: Aceves. Danny Aceves of the Old Skool Auto Club. Thank you for joining me, and also, Danny, congratulations on your win today. Danny Aceves: Thank you very much. Tom Smith: By the way, I did not know that you were going to win, although I did select you guys, you and your colleague. What's his name? Danny Aceves: Rafael. Tom Smith: Rafael. Because of your very nice vehicles, very well maintained. Literally, they're old school, right? Danny Aceves: Right. The Volkswagen Divide Tom Smith: iDriveSoCal is all about automotive news and the future of mobility and whatnot, and as you can hear some of the tuner Volkswagen's are pulling away. One of the things that I've realized diving into the world of Volkswagen, is that there is a divide in that air-cooled and water-cooled. Danny Aceves: Yes. Tom Smith: I'm assuming that the Old Skool moniker of your car club is indicative of the air-cool. Danny Aceves: Strictly air-cool. Tom Smith: Strictly air-cool. If I have a water-cool Volkswagen, you guys don't want to see me. Danny Aceves: No. No, you're welcome. You're welcome. Tom Smith: I'm kidding. I'm kidding. Thank you. Tell me about the Old Skool Club. Danny Aceves: Yeah, we were put together early 2015. I was in a club before, and I always wanted to do my own thing, so broke off, started my own club, got a couple friends together, and we slowly grew from there.
