1961 Beetle on Sunshine Skyway, Tampa Bay, Florida west coast. In ~ 1990 while visiting my mother in the Sarasota area, her German friend Lore let me drive her spare car while on my vacation- their purchased-new-in-Germany L87 Pearl White 1961 Beetle. I enjoyed washing it and looking after minor items such as a valve adjustment. Here I am driving south on I-275 on the 4.4 mile-long Sunshine Skyway bridge south of St. Petersburg. The original routing of the highway is on the right, which was repurposed as a fishing pier after the original bridge collapsed from a tragic collision of a freighter against a bridge pier in 1980.

Ontario, Canada heading west, May 1999. My friend Bill S from Connecticut, John K from CT and I drove to Michigan to attend the Michigan Vintage VW spring meet at VW of America's HQ at Auburn Hills. Bill and I both enjoy driving our VWs "fast". I'm in my '64 Ghia Cabrio. Bill and John are passing me in Bill's all-original low mileage L87 Pearl White '62 which was originally sold in France. My Ghia's 185/65 tires give an approx. 5% optimistic speedometer reading. Porsche 912 tachometer. On the way back from the meet, we convoyed with the Der Kaefer Fahrer club who were on a leg of the Return to the Fatherland trip. |

Heading west across the Bear Mountain Bridge in southern New York today, during the Classic VW Bugs' Foliage Tour. I was in my '77 Beetle. This is US Route 6 which goes nearly fully across the country.

mukluk, that shot could pass for being US Route 50 in Nevada, named by Life magazine in 1986 as the "loneliest road" in the USA. I've driven across NV on it in late 1983, in my VW Dasher. |

@Rome
I've heard that about US50, but haven't driven on it west of Colorado yet. Maybe some day I'll make it out that way. _________________ 1960 Ragtop w/Semaphores "Inga" |

Now in the middle of winter in the NorthEast, is a shot of a very enjoyable warm drive back in June 2012. Nice rural scenery along County Road 519 in Sussex County, New Jersey returning from a visit to Space Farms. This is in the north-west corner of the state. I'm in my '64 Ghia Cabriolet, L87 pearl white. |
