In 1979, GF and I drove to California to vacation, in my 1970 Beetle, from Phoenix. At that time, Californians were only able to buy gas on even/odd days, depending on their license plates, out of state could buy on any day.
We departed Santa Barbara early evening night before Labor Day, stopped for an hour in Tarzana/L.A., then decided to push onwards. Most gas stations were closed being Sunday night/next day holiday, I figured we would need to gas up once, and while going east on I-10 we could see lights from an open gas station. So we found gas, drove through the night, made it, early Labor Day. _________________ 1970 VW (owned since 1972) and 1971 VW Convertible (owned since 1976), second owner of each. The '71 now has the 1835 engine, swapped from the '70. Second owner of each. 1988 Mazda B2200 truck, 1998 Frontier, 2014 Yukon, 2004 Frontier King Cab. All manual transmission except for the Yukon. http://www.thesamba.com/vw/forum/album_page.php?pic_id=335294 http://www.thesamba.com/vw/forum/album_page.php?pic_id=335297 |
