I've always had a soft spot for classic Beetles, and with my dad being a lifelong hot rod enthusiast, the passion was bound to run in the family.

In 2015, I came across this car online in Jonesboro, Arkansas, and knew it had to be mine. From that moment on, it became a true labor of love — transforming, updating, and personalizing it every step of the way.

My dad and I have tackled every upgrade and repair together, turning the process into an unforgettable father–daughter journey. Most recently, we completed a full rewire of the car, bringing everything up to date while ensuring it’s clean, reliable, and safe for the road ahead.

Beyond the garage, this Beetle has connected me to a wider community. I joined a Volkswagen car club, eventually serving as President, and have proudly driven it in countless parades—especially around the holidays, where it’s become a crowd favorite during Christmas festivities.
