It's kinda hard to believe we've only put about 700 miles on Herbie this season since January but then again March and April were a total loss with all that is going on these days..... anyhow I wanted to get some gas and visit with my wife at lunch time Thursday so took a short little cruise.
I got the lady at the gas station to come out of the booth because she thought I was going in the wrong direction, lol. I said "don't worry I'm not filling up the trunk " lol. At least the kid I got with that last time was too young to know about these cars!

Yeah that was a real good day. We started at 8AM and got back around 4:30PM. Herbie performed well for such a long drive especially considering I really have not done much mechanically this year just an oil change. Even though we have been driving Herbie all winter we have only put on about 700 miles this season.
As for the cruise we had something like 42 cars! It was a little tough to keep together and got a little off track. _________________ Project 66 Daily Driver http://www.thesamba.com/vw/forum/viewtopic.php?t=538786&highlight=

Well you see some really interesting things when out cruising with Herbie ! First it was a transfer case fell out of a truck being towed .
Then what looked like Knigt Rider ! He blinked his head lights at us and did a 180 and chased us down 😀
And the whole day started with driving Herbie to work because I had to get him out of the garage because our drive way is getting worked on .

As seen at the 2021 CVA Last hurrah Sunday, this yellow beetle was still in primer when I brought Herbie to the same auto body shop, Woodys Auto Body in Westbrook CT. Same deal as I did he did the sanding and body work then Pete the owner shot the primer and paint .
And this rag top was in on the same deal for a respray just before the yellow beetle.
