I have 10 acres and used to have 10 cars out here at one time. I cut up all 7 of my Ghias and sold a Bus and a Super that a guy stored out here. Now I am looking to score on some Ghias at Wilson's junkyard in Lexington, Oklahoma. If I do, I am hoping to bring home all of them, as well as a couple of things and maybe another Bug. Al this room, and no neighbors to bitch! Wink

I am 40 this year Shocked and have had 150+cars (40+) VW 's...(I quit counting about 10 years ago)
I drove everything at least once unless it was just a parts car.
I made money on all but 4 cars Smile (unless you are with the IRS) then what was I saying? Confused
I could go back to the journals and list most...but really Rolling Eyes I have projects cars to work on.

Wish I would have had the room to put them all away untill now...
