You find yourself always relating conversation back to VW related items, when the original topic was not.

* when you start trying to convince your parents that a kombi is a much better choice than a new car because you can fix it for them.
* when you start buying your dub presents like toys and smelly things.
* when you have inadvertently gotten your partner hooked on vw's too.
* any trip to the car gets you both started in how in a few years its going to get upgraded from 1 to 2 webbers, and how it would look nicer with so and so type of paint, or something along those lines.
once you get the dub bug, theres no turning back!😀

#thirty something - when your partner says, 'look kombi/ bug/ beetle/ hotty volksy/ etc' long after you saw it, but thought you wouldn't bother telling them because they wouldn't be interested..
