I took my driver’s test in 1966 Beetle.

Did mine in a 69 Beetle. Learned to work on engines with that one.

When it finally gave up the ghost, I had a box full of parts left over. Don't know how it still ran, but it did.

The bible of the shade tree mechanic. Made you wanna prop a Beetle up on milk crates and pull the engine out just to see how it felt. How did it feel to have that massive 1500 cc engine, btw?
