Something to be proud of (Team Skye):
San Diego Air Cooled (SDAC) was contacted about a young man who was turning 21 and who was recently diagnosed with cancer. Shannon, the person behind all this originally just wanted a bunch of VWs to parade past the young man’s house in Birthday parade. Upon further digging and discussion with our insider, we realized that the ‘mark’ (his name is Skye) was really a VW guy and has a 69 bug that hasn’t run in a couple of years. That’s when we decided that we wanted to take a look at Skye’s car to see what it would take to repair it. On a beautiful Saturday morning, a team of SDAC’s board members and senior leadership made a trek to Skye’s house to assess his dub. With the team hard at work, within 30 minutes that little air cooled motor was running under its own power. Our club’s founder, Mario Pena, took the bug around the block for a test drive and diagnosed that the brakes needed some work and some of the electrical was needing attention. Thankfully, Mario had brought his tow bar and a friendly neighbor provided a drop hitch for our mechanic’s truck. Skye’s mom gave us carte blanche to take the car and work on it our mechanic’s (Cres Cortez) house. Once the bug was sitting under cover at Cres’, the tedious job of assessing, tuning and cleaning was underway. Eleven guys dedicated their time to make sure that Skye has a 21st birthday he’ll never forget. Many more people donated money to help pay for the parts need to tune up, change oil and provide the consumables needed to keep a 41-year-old car running like a top.
As of right now, still have his car. The plan is to give it back to him during the birthday parade past his house….and he doesn’t know he’s getting it back on his birthday, all he knows is that we took it. If you want to see his face when it comes down the street, I suggest that you join us on Saturday December 5thfor the parade past his house. We will meet at Vee Parts in National City at 9am and we will head north to Mira Mesa to start staging for the drive by.
Don’t miss this. VW Life.
