My car that i "fondly" remember was a 1972 vw beetle ,that i had owned while stationed in Germany. Up on a bulletin board, i saw the ad. I thought ....."wow" a few hundred bucks ??? Well, I had my good friend drive me 2 hours to a village outside of Landstuhl,germany, all the while reading the ad about the car, wondering if it will be worth it.
FINALLY WE ARRIVE
Thank god , beer which i assume is the country's national 'food' was available ,especially ....now. My "car" as it turned out ...was BRIGHT ORANGE ,with white rims,torn head liner, exposed wiring,and a seat held straight with a screwdriver shish-kabobed into the side of it. I wasn't sure if i should help save the car or put a bullet in it.
I loved it !!!! I had "plans" for it , I pictured dumping the sunkist orange color immediately (made my teeth hurt),for a cool flat black color (My STEALTH BUG).
I kept that car for 3 years, and am reminded of it from time to time.
I came across this video and got misty ....
