Here is some of our Volkswagen history.

A story from last years Great Canadian VW show. Written by Cara :cool:

Jason sure caught me by surprise!! Every year we travel together to Coquitlam, BC for the Great Canadian VW show, to enjoy one of our shared passions - Volkswagens!! This was, I believe our 3rd year attending this VW show and we love it! Previous years I have entered my car in the show, this year Jason entered his. When we were standing at the main tent waiting to hear the awards, the announcer mentioned he had something else to do before he got to the awards, he had a "special request". He asked if Cara Huck could come to the front. I thought, "ME? Couldn't be me, I don't even have a car in the show this year!". I was SO confused. I looked at Jason to see what he thought of this, and he just shrugged his shoulders like he had no idea. So, extremely nervous, I approached the tent, in front of hundreds of people! All eyes on me. (I had a sinking feeling that our friends who came with us on the trip were playing a trick on me in front of a bunch of strangers) That's when I saw Jason walking towards me through the crowd. He looked nervous, and I began to wonder. He took my hand and told me how much he loved me, and that he wanted to spend the rest of his life with me. That's when he got down on one knee - in front of everyone!! I think my initial reaction was "OH MY GOD!!!!" I immediately gave him a big hug before he could stand up!!! I was so happy, and the crowd cheered. All of a sudden I realized that in my excitement, I forgot to put the ring on. A lady in the crowd shouted "She has to put the ring on!!!", and I laughed with a little bit of embarrassment. Jason put my beautiful ring on my finger. I was on cloud # 9. There was a photographer there for a Hot VWs who asked us to smile for the camera, and a few months later we were in the magazine with a caption under the photo of us that said, "She said yes!". Jason couldn't have done a better job. What a perfect day.

Great people, both very deserving of this.

Hey everyone,

thanks you for your continued support!

If you havent had the time to read the story pasted on our facebook group, and you have a few minuits, here it is;

written by Cara;

As some of my friends and of course my family know, 8 years ago, my dad was diagnosed with non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, which is a very aggressive form of cancer. He had been battling this awful disease for many years, and it just seemed to keep coming back, every time, a little worse. When it came back for the last time, they told him it was terminal and he had only six weeks left to live.

This was the hardest moment in my family’s life. The cancer had rapidly spread throughout his body. It had filled all the empty cavities of his chest, and moved into his spine. Once there, it found its way into his brain and eyes. The cancer was everywhere. My dad had been so strong through everything, and fought this awful disease with every thing he had. Once the doctors had exhausted all treatment options, we turned to family and friends, and asked for their prayers.

Miraculously a year passed, and the doctors decided to give him another check-up. They were shocked and amazed to find that his body was still fighting the cancer.

Eight years later, he is still here and is in remission. He truly is my hero. My dad later told my mom, sister and I that if it weren’t for us, he wouldn’t have had any reason to fight. One of his wishes was to be able to walk my sister and I down the aisle at our weddings. So now I am engaged, and my dad is still here. It is the biggest miracle I could have ever hoped for. Due to the aggressive radiation treatment he experienced, he sustained severe nerve damage in his legs leaving him to rely on a wheelchair. When I saw pictures of the resort in the Vibe wedding package, I noticed that the gazebo had a stone pathway approaching it, which would be perfect for my dad to walk me down the aisle! I was so excited! We’ve had to look for other options when searching for a resort for our wedding in 2010. My dad can’t push himself through the sand, so the beach was never an option. Now it can be!

No matter what, I believe that everything happens for a reason, and we feel so blessed just to be in this contest. It’s such an exciting story to tell our friends and families. I know that even if we don’t win, we will have an absolutely beautiful wedding, but at the same time I would love to treat my parents who have been so strong through so much, to our wedding day without any stress.

Thank you so much for all of your help!

~Cara

Thanks again everyone,

Jason & Cara
