I am the proud owner of a 1969 VW Beetle Convertible. It’s loud, rides rough, and has all the pickup of a herd of turtles.

But on a warm sunny day, cruising around with the top down, listening to the Doobie Brothers.......IMMENSE JOY!!

That’s funny, I’ve heard them described as a squeaky mouse herding a turtle. Not the body and interior, those were tight as a drum. The engine.

...and has all the pickup of a herd of turtles.

Okay, that really did make me laugh out loud.

LOL!!

Had a friend who had an old VW. Said he loved the fact that he could do most engine repairs, and even hotwire his own car, with just a butter knife.

Not sure if that was true :-)
