I told my son that a bug will be his first car, I will buy it before he turns 16 and he will know how to fix everything by the time he gets his license.

I loves the vdubs too!

I've owned two bugs, one station wagon, a 72 and a pickup. The cab over type. That thing was so slow, but I could follow my buddy most places in the desert he went in his jeep.

My oldest son's first car was an orange Karmann Ghia. I wish we had kept that car. I see one driving off the base every now and then. I want one.

My Dad's girlfriend had one and she insisted on parking it in our garage. (We couldn't stand each other)
My dog chewed up and ruined her rag top.

I was just talking to my BF and he was telling me that it could be the brake something or other and that all we have to do is yada yada yada. Because he knows all this it is such a turn on! I told him to stop talking he is getting me hot!

I had a 69 VW I ended up shotgunning the brakes ... ie replaced everything from the master on down, all wheel cylinders, hoses, metal brake lines .... including the 6 foot one that runs through the car .....

all after going through 3 sets of rear shoes because the breaks kept locking up ....

after that my 69 had the best brakes of any VW I had ever owned including the 78 Westie w/power brakes ....

shoot me a PM'r if you need any VW help ...
