I had a 1959 Volkswagon Bug. Rusted out floor, had an old license plate over the hole in the floor. Heater barely worked. Defroster didn’t work. I’d reach around to wipe the windshield at traffic lights.
We to 4 years of law school, during the 1977/78 snow blizzards, with minus 20 one Sunday. The Ohio river froze.
I’d fill up for 3.00. Last me a week.
LOL. I too remember the barely working heater, wiping snow off the front window at traffic stops, and a slipping clutch. Good times. Brings back lots of fond memories. :)
