First car I ever owned was an old, used, VW; no heat, little window in the rear, 6V system sucked, but it was a car and I had it for 2 years......................And, traded it for a Karmann Ghia, (little VW sports car), which I traded for a tree and a cedar rail fence. First the tree, (car-roaming shot :roll

, then the fence.
Hated the bug, loved the Ghia. Bought another Ghia, new, and we drove it for about 5 years. Popped our two kids in that little back seat, belted them in and toured the country in it, tent on the top, and camping gear on everyone's lap. Wonderful car. Finally it literally rusted away.
Said goodbye to VW and went to water-cooled, and heat. Better idea!!
About that time, I almost bought a really old, raced, Porche; but didn't want the promised divorce, so bought a canoe instead.............go figure. Better idea.
