10. Most VWs have a name. You may change this if you wish providing you use similar procedure to changing the name of a boat.
Select a bottle of wine, brandy, or whatever is your favourite, pour a little over the front bumper and announce the new name. You then drink the rest of bottle with friends who must also contribute a bottle to this auspicious occasion.
