"Learning to work on my VW was the beginning of my freedom, something that had chained me before I now had a relationship with. I had learned its language. I began to learn other languages; of photography and seeing, of carpentry and working with my hands; of music and listening - and there's no doubt in my mind my experience with the Idiot Manual was its start. Thank you." - Harrison Judd / How to Keep Your Volkswagen Alive for the Compleat Idiot by John Muir, (Changes for the 1989 20th anniversary edition)
