My first car was a '57 VW beetle with over 200K miles on it when I got it. I bought it the day after I turned 16 with my own money I earned from mowing lawns.

It was the first year that the rear window was one piece of glass and had a 37hp engine running on a 6v electrical system. The battery was under the backseat. I had to bungee cord it in place so that it didn't shift and short out on the car frame. One day the floor rusted out underneath it and it fell through and was dragging on the road. I put a thin piece of plywood underneath it and it was good-to-go.

Had the exact same thing happen to my bug!
