My first car was a '67 Beetle I paid $750 for it in 1978. I knew that thing
inside and out, you about had to know because it was always needing
something adjusted or tinkered with. I'm not saying that was a bad thing
I wish I still had it. When I got it had 104K miles on it and when I traded
it in in 1984 it had 167K miles on it. I got a wild hair about 10 years ago
and bought primo '67 Beetle to drive back and forth to work. That didn't
go so well, after driving a modern vehicle for so long it was very hard to
get used to an old Beetle again. 18 wheelers would go by you and it felt
like you moved over a foot. Don't get wrong if I ever find a fully restored
one and I have the extra cash I wouldn't be above buying it. They're
sort of an attachment once you've had you'll always remember it.
