Jeff Pierce & Butters the Super Beetle | A Lifetime of Volkswagen Obsession Ep68

From a $300 Beetle at age 14 to a garage full of VW memories, Jeff Pierce shares the story behind his beloved Super Beetle, Butters, and a lifetime spent living the VW lifestyle.

What starts as a childhood memory of a family Beetle turns into a lifelong Volkswagen addiction.

In this episode of Dub Life Diaries, Joe sits down with Volkswagen enthusiast Jeff Pierce, owner of a beloved 1973 Super Beetle named Butters. From buying his first Beetle at just 14 years old while working at McDonald's to owning nearly 20 Volkswagens throughout his life, Jeff shares the stories, lessons, successes, and mistakes that shaped his VW journey.

Joe and Jeff dive into what makes the Volkswagen community different from every other automotive scene. They discuss the friendships, roadside rescues, garage-built projects, and the welcoming culture that keeps people coming back generation after generation.

Topics include:

• The story behind Butters the 1973 Super Beetle

• Jeff's first VW purchase at age 14
