What can be done with the VW Beetle
My first new car was a red VW Beetle. We bought it for cash out of our wedding money. It cost $1873, including tax and tags! It ran forever and was ridiculously easy to work on. I wouldn't have been able to repair the clutch myself, but that never blew. Everything else was as easy as working with a kids' erector set, even though I'm not too swift when it comes to cars.

One time in Miami the car stalled out on me at 2 AM and I couldn't figure out the problem, but my friend and I were able to push it two miles to my house without breaking much of a sweat! (Not a lot of hills in Miami, thank goodness.) Helluva sweet little piece of simple engineering, that car. It's probably still on the road somewhere in Mexico.

  1. How's your car this time?..a simple engineering with your car seems look good..that's nice. With my car, 1999 Volkswagen Beetle, i also did some tuning up yesterday, its a bit harder installing VW radiator , i should also change the thermostat and the radiator hoses. Everything should be done properly to make my car run smoothly on the road.
