Glad you came through OK and no, I hope you don’t have to do another MRI anytime in the near future!

I found my Karmann Ghia complete with a teardrop trailer!

Nice! My first car was a tan, convertible Kharmann Ghia. (Yes, I know that’s a standard security question/answer and I never select that one. LOL) I loved that car. I even had an 8-track player and decent speakers in it. (Thanks, Dad!) What lovely, youthful memories I have associated with my Ghia. To this day, there are certain songs that can invoke memories of driving around northern Virginia on a beautiful day with the top down and the music blasting, or driving in downtown Philly to a concert or baseball or hockey game with a couple of friends jammed in with me…(sigh…)

I’ve wanted a Karmann Ghia ever since I was 22 and had my first ride in one. It was the same color as the one I got today — tan!! It was the only one or the last one, depending on your thinking! LOL! I prefer to think it was “the LAST ONE!”

I was happy to get it, but even happier that my FS found his. He’s probably already posted it on Facebook and if he has, I’ll ping you to it. He just added another set of shelves in his VW room. He said he had been looking at Facebook Marketplace for about a month looking for the right shelf, and this one fits underneath the window, in between a desk and another shelf.

So it was a good trip.
