Does this happen often to you?

I have had the reverse of this happen a few times.
I guy pulled into the driveway and said he had some old vw parts for free, but I had to take them all. well got a set of mint 55 bus rims and a few boxs of bus and oval parts.
Another time I ended up with a complet 54 oval for 300.
So I always keep at least one old Vw in the drivway.

About every 6 months that happens. The stalkers admit they've been trying to catch me at home. Whaddayagonnado.

I was driving my bug home from my buddies place once when i pull up to a three way and stop behind this lady that's waitign to pull out. Well i see her look in her rearview mirror and then she fumbles around in her car for a second, which really pissed me off because we're trying to pull off on a busy road and there is a nice gap, but anyway she opens her door comes back to me and hands me her card and says, "If you're ever interested in selling let me know. It's a 65' right?" i proceed to tell her it's a 67' but she doesn't believe me, which really chapped my ass, so then i proceeded to show her everything that made it a 67' just so she knew that just because a bug has "Chrome" bumpers doesn't mean it's a 65'

My 4 ACVWs elicit friendly comments and questions from dog-walkers and Sunday drivers. The city tried to get me big time for having my patina'd bug (registered and a daily driver) parked in the same spot day after day. Some Mr. or Mrs. Kravitz must've thought it was junk. But, the day my son caught someone taking pictures of my collection, the ones dearest to my heart went into the garage and the less-favorites got parked behind them in the driveway.

Yeah, that's what I get: reported to the county for an "eyesore" in the driveway. I am sure most of you think a bus is an eyesore, eh?

You know what I think is an eyesore? A bright green perfectly manicured lawn with trees that have little mulch piles around each one. I think it looks so anal & unnatural. Not to mention that it screams out the use of fertilizers & pesticides. Why can't I complain about the "eyesore".

Sheeeeesh. What a fuckin' world.

I live on a busy street and have had people stop and ask if my bus is for sale. Yep, the one IN my garage on jack stands that I am grinding and welding on when he interrupts me to ask if it's for sale.

No one ever asks about the rusted ass bay window next to garage:(

Whats funny is if you put a for sale sign on it no one asks what you wont for it most of the time. My buddy had his split for sale and had twice as many people ask what he wonted for it before he put a for sale sign on it go figure.

Funny thing, when I use to drive my 64 Single Cab people would stop and talk all the time, I had a guy give me a 63 15 window once while out driving it, he stops and says I got one of them old busses in my back yard, you can have it if you want it..Duh Huh Very Happy

Now that the 64 is being worked on and I drive the 72 weekender, I ain't had one person offer me a free bus, Damn Crying or Very sad

Weired how that little split down the middle has such an effect on people Rolling Eyes

I get that all the time , within 2 weeks of having the bus home , there were 3 people stopped by to see if it was for sale .
this year a 12 foot fence is going up , and that will be the end of that . Twisted Evil

some of them get nasty when you wont sell to them , they must think that is would be such a great pleasure for me to do businuss with them and have their piss poor offer and be without a bus .

I have neighbors that I think hate us (me and my roomie) for what we have stacked for projects.. But I have had a girl ask me if I have any for sale that are electric... hah, sad thing is my roomie wants to turn a 70's bug no one will miss if it is not kept original into an electric.
But like most things funds prevent Sad

Wish I had most of the garage space you guys seem to have though!
