Took my pregnant, water broke wife (first one) to the hospital at 3 am in a
1966 VW1300.
Strangely, I have no memory of the journey, only the setting off and the
arriving. Weird.

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

My first car was a Beetle. Bought it at age 16, probably overpaid but I loved
them at the time. I really liked the simplicity of it, but yeah, heat was very
minimal. Enough to keep the frost off the windshield if everything was working
perfectly, otherwise you kept a scraper handy.
On Thu,
I keep seeing a guy drive by my house every day in a classic orange Beetle
convertible, likely a 1969 or 1968 from the looks of it. Beautiful car, makes
that lovely “ping-ping-ping” sound when it’s timed just right.
Someone down the street had a Beetle for sale recently. It was a little beat,
Quite a fetching combination...
I don't consider the ask too bad considering its 51 years old. Price a 1973 VW
Beetle or, more excitingly a 1973 VW Thing.

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.

That’s sweet. Needs pics of the engine compartment and trunk with the rubber

comparing to something like a finnie in comparable condition, I don’t think his

I'd look at this if I was in Vegas. I don't recall ever seeing a black one.
This black surely isn't 040 is it?
The ask is mind numbing but these are becoming scarce, so I had best get used
to it.
