i think the biggest misconception about the jhc is that they hate. they dont. they call bullshit. they step up and confront a person/persons/business that is giving bad advice or providing poor quality parts etc, and correct them on it. they dont put up with liars, cheaters, beggars, bullshit and refuse to be taken advantage of or mistreated. aswell they will help you and i in a situation if needed. i spend quite a bit of time on
www.thesamba.com forums and i'm constantly reading and hearing from jhc members. all of them constantly provide quality information and answer tons of other peoples questions. all of them have stepped up and taken hits, when everyone else was afraid of confrontation. some of them are very well respected individuals in the vw community, and others are hobbiests. the jhc has members from all walks of life.
just because they have the word \"hater\" in their name, does not mean that they hate. remember that.
and i'm tired of hearing all this vw community is friendly, we're all hippies, come join our love in bullshit. does that mean that all the other car clubs/communities are mean? thats what it sounds like. dont buy a vw because there is a \"hater\" club? thats like saying dont buy a harley davidson because there are the hells angels.

. i believe that you participate because you enjoy the vehicle. you enjoy wrenching, cruising, drag racing, autocrossing( :wacko: ), restoring and being in and around vw's and others with similar interests. there are bad apples in every bunch. it's inevitable.
just my buck and a half.
