FWIW, Back in VW's heyday, maybe even today?, a German Master
Mechanic program apprenticeship took 8 years.

Tom B.-are most of those volks gone?

Back in the late 60's & early 70's I was friends with a couple who had
moved here from Germany, the guy was a VW mechanic they moved here to work
at a VW dealer. He quite in disgust in the late 70's, telling me he
couldn't stand what VW's had become. He gave me hell for buying a '73
Beetle! If he thought VW was going in the wrong direction back then, I
wonder what he would think today?!     Jeff
