Caught the Bug
Yeah, I definitely miss the Bug. It was a 58', first of the 'big windows'. Had no gas gauge, so I had to lift the 'hood', take off the gas cap, and shake the car to see how much gas I had! I didn't want to add one and ruin the original look of it. Fun though, like driving a go cart.
Over the years I've had a '63 and "late model" '73. The best thing about them was I could fix anything that broke. The '73 had a full set of studded snows that were fearless in the Colorado snow. It was our ski car. We'd load up four people, skis, all our shit for a weekend, and head into the mountains. It took us a lot longer to climb some of the passes but we never got turned back by weather. Too bad "The Thing" wasn't 4WD.:yup:
