I’ve been driving my 67 to work on nice days. I get a lot of comments, which makes it fun. This was my daily driver off and on since the 1980’s. Since I restored it I don’t drive it in the winter or in bad weather, but it’s still a lot of fun!

drove the bug to coffee this morning, 18 degrees F. I am always amazed at how good an air cooled VW does in the cold weather!

I drove my JG 67 to the county building yesterday to pay my alarm bill.

When I came out of the building, a construction worker at the county house was standing in front of my beetle.
He said he liked the car, of course I had to agreed. Everyone likes an older beetle. Very Happy
