—”The man I married drove a 1972 VW Super Beetle “
I met my wife at a friend’s wedding at THE DRAKE HOTEL in downtown Chicago and gave her a ride home in my almost new 1974 VW THING.
When the valet brought the car, it was too late for her to make a break for it!
We were married two years later.
Our daughter’s first car was a Bug, I had a fresh motor in the garage and found a deal on a fully restored body with a bad engine.
She did most of the work and I supervised her, now a graduate engineer and former cell tower (at the top) worker.
That’s awesome and of course, your future wife couldn’t escape! From VW bugs to engineering and cell tower work, yep, sounds right to me!
Honestly, I have imprinted so strongly on VW bugs that a serial killer clown could be sitting in one at a stop light and I would still smile and wave because of the car.
