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 :-)

No, not just a butter knife. You needed a coat hanger for the carburetor.

Well, the other reason why I love my VW, I spent 2 years restoring it. Learned bodywork, upholstery, built the engine (it is a little souped up), painted it, basically tore into everything on it except the transmission.

I can tell when something isn’t right. I am one with this car.
