I just love VW's. As a small child, I rode on my father's orange`75 bug. When that one hit the junkyard, my dad gave up driving his own car. After a few years, oppurtunity struck and his brother-in-law (from his first wife) handed him the registration to his own `75 bug. It had been unused for a few years. My dad patiently took care of it until it was back in running condition. Years after he died, I reluctantly sold it to a friend of my dad's. I couldn't keep up with the repair bills. I had to sell it or it would rust away slowly.

Why all the nostalgia? I found this G-Blog entry posted by Petrol. It lead me to this page about Kikai that reminded me about all those plans I had about remodeling my dad's bug. Dreams gave way to reality as the bills piled up. Anyway, something will come up in the future. One of these days, I might just meet someone who will give me a chance to own one again.

Oh, and in case you're wondering why I talk so much about Petrol's blog, I'm a fan ;-)
