Did you ever own a VW?
I had a 1971 VW SuperBeetle with the 1600 cc engine that was restored. I bought it from a guy in a Sherwood Park in about 1990. Drove it as a summer daily for about 3 years. Then the fad wore out. It sat in storage for 4-5 more before I finally sold it.
Wife had a newer design Bug. We had it Arizona for a while but it was impractical for hauling people to the airport etc.. Fun driver though.
Had a friend that in the 1980s he owned a microbus, nicely redone. Those were neat vehicles. He was a snorkel, scuba guy and also owned a Hobie Catermaran, he did roofing all summer and spent winters camped on the Mexican baja hustling tourists to dive, sail etc.. I went sailing with him once here in Canada. Once. And just once. We flipped his catamaran on the lake in a heavy heavy wind, we were “cruising” and I never bailed out of my “diaper” in time to get clear of the boat as it was going over and was submerged into the water with the mast and sails of the boat pointed straight down and me in there too. Life flashed before my eyes and I said “not for me”. We had to dive down and release all the rigging so that we could then slowly upright the boat and sail home.
I got so many bruises on my shoulder because of those f***ing cars.
