Therefore, he went out of his way to buy the Beetle about two years ago and started to repair it to make it better.

His words:

"Ever since I met her, she had always loved and had this fantasy that she wanted to own a Volkswagen Beetle. All these while, she was like, even if I have money and I buy her a G-Wagon, , Range, or whatever, she must drive a Volkswagen. I decided that, at some point, I was going to get it for her. You can't really get a new one, so I had to work on it. It took over a year. June would make it two years since we have been working on it. I just had to take the time to make that dream come true. I decided that Val was the best time to do it."
