I just got an email from my local Kenworth dealer: Notice Regarding CDK Cybersecurity Incident To all Inland customers, We would like to inform you of a temporary disruption in our services due to a cybersecurity incident affecting our primary business system—CDK. This incident has impacted CDK’s dealer customers, both car and truck, across North America. We remain fully operational and have implemented our business continuity response plans for incidents like this. These plans ensure your needs are met, but it may take a little extra time to complete each transaction. There is currently no ETA for a resolution, but we want to assure you that the continuity of our service remains our top priority. We thank you for your understanding and patience, and we will keep you informed of updates as they become available.

Re: [MBZ] He Has the Passport for this Car
When we moved here in February of 1982, we were a single car family: a 1977 Malibu. I started working instantly (2300hrs to 0700hrs shift at a Circle K). As I searched for a better gig, Mrs. Bob nailed down a job as a hostess at a Bob’s Big Boy. Suddenly, we needed two vehicles. I bought a ‘68 Beetle (Blanche…the only car I ever named) that needed a fender replaced. $175 and I had a fender in my shed. Started driving Blanche ilate at night then early in the morning so it wasn’t too bad. After being robbed almost every other at the Circle K, I began working at the City of Phoenix Wastewater Treatment Plant. I was able to drive on dirt roads among the irrigated fields to and from the plant so Blanche didn’t mind that she was air cooled. I very seldom drove her in town in the summer. Blanche served me well until a stop sign runner clipped me, spun out, and landed shiny side down in a flowing irrigation canal. Dude got out, wife was stuck in the car. I helped him get her ginormous carcass out of the submerged car, they stood there and stared at me, then ran (or waddled) off. I pulled/beat the left front fender back into a shape that I could limp home and I did. I parted was with Blanche, for $275, and got my ‘62 Falcon.

Requirement in my family that your first car had to be a Beetle. Unfortunately (?) for me, there weren’t any decent ones around when the time came and my Dad got a nice deal on a 1970 2-door Maverick that was a total stripper. “Three on the tree,” heater and AM radio, which of course I dealt with immediately with my removable slide mount Radio Shack under dash cassette player, an amp and some surface mount speakers for the parcel shelf. I totaled it about 6 months later and got a Beetle convertible. -D > On Jun 20, 2024, at 2:36 PM, Allan Streib wrote: > > My first car was a Beetle.

Re: [MBZ] He Has the Passport for this Car
If it had AC would it be a dealer add-on under-dash unit? I don't see that but the photos don't really give a clear view. Or were they integrating AC by 1973? I normally like black cars but I don't care for the black with the blood red interior. Looks like Count Dracula's coffin.
