Congrats on the win.Now how many kids were in a VW Beetle?
Congrats on the win.
This question brings back nightmares from childhood! In the mid 70's, my father insisted on using his Volkswagen Beetle for our family road trip vacations to Florida (from the Midwest), instead of the full size station wagon in the driveway.
2 adults, 4 kids, and the family dog(German Sheppard) crammed into the Beetle for a 900+ mile, straight thru, trip.
Funniest memory: Mom was a relentless "backseat driver", and stressed out Dad so bad one rainy night that he pulled over and ripped the passenger side wiper off the car. He got back in and yelled "If you can't see, you can't bitch!" We all still laugh about that, except Mom.
1st time I saw it,
My mother was a nurse at a private practice the next town over. There was an elderly gentleman patient that had a '62 VW Beetle. It was battle ship gray with a red interior. She really liked it and would kid him about selling it to her. Well time passed and so did the gentleman. His wife came in the office one day and asked mom if she would be interested in buying the VW. They agreed on a price and the deal was done.
She had my older brother drive it home mainly because she couldn't drive a clutch. We tried to teach her numerous times but she couldn't get the hang of it. As time went on, she got the car inspected and tagged and before we knew it she was driving it back and forth to work. It seemed like she wasn't having any problems with it until one day I saw her turning into my brother's driveway. It was one of those backwards turns and up a hill. That poor bug was chugging and bucking all the way up the hill. I asked her if she knew how to downshift. She replied with what's that? I said shift to a lower gear. She said she didn't know you could do that. I asked her what do you do when you come to a stop sign? She says I slow down and look both ways and proceed if nobody is coming. I knew there was one traffic light in the town she worked in and I asked her about that. She says she slows down until the light turns green if it happens to be red. Oh boy, I had some driver's ed to do with her.
We ended up having to replace the clutch by the end of the year. All of us boys took turns using the car when ours needed repair. It became a spare car for the whole family. It was in very good condition and very dependable.
When the answer to this giveaway ended up being a gray VW Beetle you know all of this came back to me.
