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.  _________________ I have learned over the years.
Cheap parts are gonna disappoint you.
Buy Once, Cry Once!
There's never enough time to do it right the first time. But there's always enough time to do it thrice.
