When you have to make a rule that the kids can't play "punch buggy" or "slug a bug" when they get within sight of the house or shop. _________________ Everybody born before 1975 has a story, good, bad, or indifferent, about a VW.
GOFUNDYOURSELF, quit asking everyone to do it for you!
An air cooled VW will make you a hoarder.
Do something, anything, to your project every day, and you will eventually complete it. |

You come close to picking up a toy vw but decide against it because it isn't stock looking enough. _________________ --
