MY VW Golf is 25 years old this year. She is just a hair over 60K miles. Aside from a few road dings, she still runs like a top.

It was my Step-Mom’s ‘ride’ to church each week (about 4 blocks) and then a stop at the liquor store on the way home, LOL!

I have a pair of 1979 VW Beetle convertibles.

Here in Texas, if a vehicle is over 25 years old, it qualifies as an antique vehicle. Registration every 4 years and no safety inspections. I got one of these bugs from a family member in L A County. It wouldn’t pass the smog test and wasn’t legal to be on the roads there.
