My brakes seezed and it just sounded BAD and smelled bad. That should be a quick fix at home tonight but I just couldn't do it without any tools and another adult.

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 know, they become a bit of an obsession, I do love them. I had a 74 super but that car has nothing on this 65.

It started about 3 years ago when I was having reoccuring dreams of my 74 dash and I was driving at night, watching the yellow dash lines on the road. It was a great dream but it would wake me and I would have this overwhelming feeling of lament.

I was telling my BF about it and he would tell me that his sister ran 3 bugs into the ground and she didn't know how to take care of them which would drive me nuts b/c I knew how to take care of them and I treated mine with such love.

About a year later there was one for sale on Chingville Rd. so we decided to look at it. He said b/c it was a super that this was bad on it and that was bad but the price wasn't bad and I knew with a lil love I could ge this baby running. He flat out said no.

A year went by looking on Craigslist and I had given up. BF said when he lived in Cali bugs were a dime a dozen (me screaming on the inside) BUT WE'RE NOT IN CALI!!!! We set out price range at $3000 but he was searching $5000 at times. I was suspicious and exhausted.

November he found our bug in Richmond. Some guy with 10 cars, 3 of them being Jags was selling her. BF and my son went to look, test drove her and said he put a down payment. I was shocked. I never in a million years expected him to find a bug to his specs but one that was convertible and in such good shape.

Currently I have noticed 8 bugs in this county on the road.

If you are looking, craigslist and samba. Look for atleast 6 months, you will find a jem.

ok, my VW confession or wish list. one Baja bug, one tricked out 70s bug, 70s Westfalia camper, one spilt window bug, one thing, one biodiesel rabbit, one 80s sirocco, one schimwagen and one 23 window delux for my honey. Thats all.

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!
