2019 Cardiff Kook Run 5K, 10K
By mandirs | Posted in Community Support, Event on Wednesday, February 6th, 2019 at 8:21 AMThis weekend, Herman Cook Volkswagen was proud to be a sponsor of the 2019 Cardiff Kook Run 5k, 10K on Sunday, February 3rd. Celebrating its 9th year, the Cardiff Kook Run‘s mission is to enhance healthy lifestyles and promote the community simultaneously.
Herman Cook VW kicked off the race in 2019 Volkswagen Tiguan SEL R-Line and 2019 GTI Rabbit Edition pacer cars with over 1,700 total participants.
The course began under the world famous “Encinitas” sign on historic Coast Highway 101 in beautiful Encinitas, California. This scenic loop passed south through downtown, past Swami’s temple, along the San Elijo State Beach Campgrounds, by the famous “Cardiff Kook” statue (The Magic Carpet Ride), rose above some of the most popular surf breaks in the world and headed down to Cardiff State Beach and back up to finish in front of La Paloma Theatre and the Encinitas Sign.
Runners were encouraged to burn off calories for one of the biggest days in American Sports – the Super Bowl. What better way to get ready than with a family morning run to prep for Sunday’s big game! Locals, kids, adults, serious runners and kooks alike participated – for life, for community, for a really fun time.
The course was completed in 1st and 2nd place by two team members from BC, Canada, who signed up for the race to escape the winter Canadian chill! We got lucky here in San Diego and avoided the highly anticipated rainstorm. Click here to view the race results.
The Cardiff Kook Run, which began in 2011, would not have been possible without the enthusiastic community participants that support the event. We are proud to have been a part of it!

2019 Volkswagen Tiguan Power and Gas Mileage Ratings
There are many reasons why SUVs are becoming more and more popular each and every new model year, but one of our favorite reasons is the fact that new SUVs are able to perfectly combine high power ratings with high gas mileage ratings in ways other models and body styles simply can’t match. A perfect example of this is the new Volkswagen Tiguan lineup at Herman Cook Volkswagen in Encinitas, CA. That’s because the 2019 Tiguan lineup is able to provide you with the power you need for everyday life while also providing you with the gas mileage you need to save money at the pump. To see what we mean, let’s check out the power and gas mileage ratings of the 2019 Volkswagen Tiguan lineup. Read the rest of this entry »

San Diego Vintage VW Christmas Cruise 2018
By mandirs | Posted in Community Support, Event, Holiday, Vintage VW on Wednesday, December 12th, 2018 at 12:32 PM
The San Diego Air Cooled VW Group helped to make children’s holidays a bit brighter on Saturday with their annual Vintage VW Christmas Cruise toy drive at Herman Cook.
The Air Cooled Group is a San Diego-based Volkswagen Club that loves to share their passion for cruising and customizing their Classic Air Cooled VW’s. Over 200 enthusiasts couldn’t have been more excited to share their passion at this event!
Enthusiasts of all ages helped participate in the Toys for Tots donation box pickup at Herman Cook.
There was a magical holiday cheer in the air filled with some FESTIVE outfits!
All were classic vehicles, but each one unique, and many of them festively decorated in Christmas cheer.
Around 65 classic and uniquely decorated VW’s piled into the dealership to take part in the event. This was our biggest turnout yet!
Within each vehicle, there were many opportunities to see the classic VW culture that we all know and love.
Members of the San Diego Air Cooled VW Group reminisced about the Vintage VW’s they’ve restored and are proud to have out on the road today.
The classics were a sight to behold as many of them were extremely decorative and customized vehicles.
The group leader Lee Hedges put his heart and soul into organizing the event, capturing a collective VW nostalgia for all those involved.
Over 400 toys collected from the Herman Cook VW Toy Drive and The San Diego Air Cooled VW Group were piled into the van to be delivered to Toys for Tots for donation.
Once all the VW’s were lined up, they exited past the Herman Cook VW showroom in a stylish procession one by one.
The club drove down the coast in their vintage V-dubs starting at Herman Cook Volkswagen and cruised through Del Mar, La Jolla, Pacific Beach, Fiesta Island, Coronado, and Imperial Beach.
There were many beautiful stops along the way.
Alas, they ended their journey at the Toys for Tots Marine Corps Reserve Center near Miramar and delivered the toys for donation for the children.
The Toys for Tots drive was a huge success thanks to the generosity of San Diego Air Cooled VW, Herman Cook VW customers and employees, and the support of the local community. If you would like to participate in the next annual Vintage VW Cruise, contact the dealership at (760) 753-6256 for more details. Click here to watch the video!
