We want our Volkswagen people to come out and have a good time together. We're going to have food and drinks for everybody, we're going to have music, we're just going to have a good time and hang out and talk cars, you know. Tom: Welcome to iDriveSoCal, the podcast, all about mobility from the automotive capital of the United States, Southern California, Tom Smith here, with my good buddy, Jimmy Willhide. If you've been listening to the podcast, you know that Jimmy Willhide is a VW guy, pretty hardcore actually, has eight VWs at home. He is one of the service advisors here at Ontario Volkswagen in Los Angeles suburb of Ontario, California, just off the 15 here. And Ontario is a great partner of iDriveSoCal and we thank you guys as always for that. This here podcast that we're going to be talking about is a really cool event that ... easy for me to say. Ontario Volkswagen is going to be having in October and it's actually called Oktoberfest and obviously, Volkswagen being German, it all ties in, it's really cool and we're in the automotive capital of the world here, so it makes sense that we are honoring the heritage of the brand that is VW, right? Jimmy: That is correct. All generations of Volkswagen. Everybody is welcome to come out, from old-school classic air cooled to old school classic mark three to mark two, Jetta's and GTIs and so forth, all the way to the new gens, we want everybody to come out and have a good time. Mark and Generation Tom: And just to clarify, if you are a Volkswagen person, you already know, but if you don't, because I'm an appreciator but I'm still learning the specific lingo. You heard Jimmy just interchange the word mark and gen, so generation is what gen stands for and mark is also so, for instance, well let's go the Beetle, the old slug bug, what gen are we on on that one? It's not being made right now, but what was the most recent? Jimmy: That would be ... Most recent would be the 1975 Beetle, anything from '57 on is a classic Volkswagen air cool. The generation/mark situation, it started from mark one from '75 on up, to the mark two is from '85 on up and then the mark three is from '93 and up. And then our four, five, six and sevens are newer generation Volkswagen's, we're all welcome to come out. Tom: Okay. So you don't have to be an old-school Volkswagen person, guy or gal, a new school Volkswagen ... it's everybody. Jimmy: It is everybody. Tom: And even, hey if you're not a Volkswagen owner, but you're an appreciator, if that's a word, if not I just made one up, that's cool, you know, come on out, it's a good time and it's going to be, of course, in October, which is... Isn't it funny how so many Oktoberfest's are actually in September? Jimmy: Oh yeah, it's crazy. But it's a lot of fun. Tom: Right. So, Oktoberfest...
