I agree 100%. I put more miles on my Notch when it looked rough one summer (some rust/paint pops that are doing it again 9 years later), as I drove it most everywhere...even the doctors office or out to lunch. I don't do car shows any more either, and living in the mid west, I get more people asking about it at gas stations and restaurants than I ever did at shows. It's more fun talking to people who have no idea that VW made that style of car (they thought VW only made bugs, buses, and ghia's.

Kelley Park was this weekend and it was another fun one with good people. The Notchback got lots of attention again. 
Still less than 200 miles on the odometer.

No patina, no roof rack.

Beautiful car. Lots of great ideas for the ‘63 notch I just got.

I grabbed one of the new anthracite emergency brake boots. I will tuck it at some point but I do not want to mess with the floor mats right now.

Use it in the rain.

We get too much rain for it to be open all of the time. Plus I park it outside, so it's in the weather.
