Today is National Dog Day, and if you’re a pet owner then you are probably familiar with the popular KONG dog toy! This conular, beehive-shaped rubber item– often seen in red or black– is a hollow “mental stimulation” toy for dogs that can be filled with treats and will keep them busy for hours! But, did you know that this toy originated from a part of Volkswagen’s classic Bus? In 1970 an auto repair shop owner named Joe Markham adopted a German Shepard named Fritz to help guard his shop from burglars. Frits was a fine dog, but had flunked out of the police academy due to excessive chewing, and Joe soon realized that the black mark on Fritz’s record was indeed an issue. You see Fritz's favorite toy for teething was a rock and after a while it began to wear down the dog's teeth! Joe tried every other chewable toy he could think of, but it wasn’t until one day when he was working on a Volkswagen Bus, that he found his solution! After disassembling a customer's VW for repair, Joe came across Fritz happily chewing away on the Buses rubber axle stop. It was perfect! The rubber was soft enough not to damage the dog's teeth but strong enough to hold up against Fritz’s powerful bite! So, Joe, inspired by his pup's discovery, began developing his dog toy idea! After years of experimentation and a bit of help from a German engineering firm, the first KONG toys hit the markets in 1976 and have been a massive hit ever since! Volkswagen loves this story and hopes to continue to inspire its drivers and community in new and exciting ways!

While spending a lot of money on a new vehicle, it’s important to ensure that the vehicle you’re test driving is really the right one and worth the money you’re going to spend. Take Your Time! Take your time with the vehicle, go over all of the features, and don’t be pressured into purchasing something you don’t love through and through. Listen To The Experts! While your opinion matters most, there is also a time and place to listen to the car experts when it comes to features like comfort, convenience, power, etc. Car reviews can be a great source of information and can offer great insight! Drive It Like You Own It! One mistake many new car buyers make is not driving the vehicle on your daily commute. We encourage you to take advantage of this time by driving back roads, busy streets, or highways if they are typically in your daily commute. This will help you get a better feel for how the ride will be once you purchase the vehicle. Don’t Be Blinded By The Bling! Oftentimes, buyers are blinded by specific features or price points. Don’t let this be you. Take all of the features into consideration before making a final decision. It’s a great idea to make a list of features that you’re looking for in a vehicle and check them off as you go.

Schedule your service appointment today and rest assured you’ll make it to your next outdoor adventure! Fiore Volkswagen’s Travel Tips: Take some time to decide on a destination. Decide if you want to go far or stay closer to home, do you want to get the mountain tops or city streets? Once you’ve decided on where to go, decide if you’ll be able to make it back in one day and if so what time should you go, arrive, and head back home. If you have to stay the night be sure to start looking for a hotel or place to stay sooner rather than later (prices go up). Choose a route. Many people who take road trips like to take the scenic route to their destination. If this is you, check out your GPS and see the different ways you can go to get to your destination. However, if you’re only planning a day trip, it might be better to find the quickest way to get there because of the time restriction. Consider the right vehicle. Some vehicles are simply not made for long drives. Depending on the number of people taking the trip with you, the right car might be different. If you’re packing in the whole family it is no surprise that an SUV or crossover is the best way for you to go. You’ll need space to get everyone in and be comfortable. If you’re looking to save a buck on gas opt for a sedan that has great fuel economy! If you’re looking for a new ride before hitting the road, we have a wide variety of vehicles for you to choose from, whether it be an SUV, sedan, or even truck, we can match you with the best option for your needs! Get a tune-up. The best thing you can do before hitting the road, regardless of how far you’re traveling, is to get a tune-up. You want to make sure there is no chance of breaking down or mechanical issues. Make sure to get your fluid levels topped off, check for engine problems, and make sure all of your lights are working. Bring entertainment. Of course, the drive has to be focused on the road. However, passengers might want some entertainment to make the trip more bearable, especially if you’re taking a big trip. We suggest planning some car games for younger passengers and bring electronic entertainment like phones, tablets, headphones, and even magazines, books, journals, etc.
