From his first matte black '64 Beetle to the hood ride culture, custom suspension builds, and the tight-knit VW community that influenced him, Buddy shares stories that every air-cooled enthusiast will appreciate. We also dive into the remarkable history of Baby Got Sauce —a Florida-born Notchback that made its way to Hawaii before returning home, eventually becoming the incredible restoration it is today. Buddy opens up about preserving the car's legacy, assembling it with rare period-correct parts, and the unforgettable engine built by the legendary Scooter. Whether you're into Type 3s, Cal-Look culture, vintage Volkswagens, or simply love hearing the stories behind the people who make this hobby special, this episode is packed with history, inspiration, and plenty of laughs.
