For Small Town Mutha

My blogger friend over at Small Town Mutha just posted a post about car needs and wants.  If she gets that Sunshine Family Van...we could be bestest buds

I, too wanted a car...

About 15 years ago I bought a car from my neighbor's brother.

A 1967 VW beetle. 

it looked like this, but rustier. She was 500$ that I didn't have and came with 0 seats and a beehive, oh yeah! and a horn which randomly went off.  She was crap, but she was mine.

I sat in the back yard tinkering.
 I had no money, I got the hippie VW book...

and did my best, which was not good enough.  I got her to run...but she was really really crap.

Then I met Bobby.  "Fix it or dump it", he said.

He called a friend who said he would make it work.  

(that friend now states he will never work on VW's again...but he was oh so proud when done)

I bought a newer engine $1200, I bought seats: $400,

batteries, fuses Oh MY...

I ended up with this...my baby.

My one cool thing that is mine.

She leaks oil like a sieve, there is NOTHING automatic, and she is straight from Germany.

Shell pink (thanks to Bobby's great knowledge of 1950's cool guitar colors), and cream.

and she has a nice Ass to boot.

VW love...1967

ps I have a motorcycle in the garage too...

soon, soon
