Maybe that crazy Thing guy doesn't even have a top?

Saw a metalic green 67 with black fenders on Elliott @54th today.

Anybody see that pic they showed on Global news about 4 min ago?  A pic of 3 dead Beetles with a sign in front of them stating it was the \"Old Volks Home\".  Submitted by one Dave Everes.  Anyone know him?  Where are these 3 cars?

Yup... She just had over a grand of engine work done...  Cheech has unfortunatly had to fix a number of things since he picked her up from a recent overhaul. Seems really odd.

I was driving home in the rain and saw this good looking Bug in a light sort of aquamarine blue.

I recognized the dual tips header and I stocked the car until I could at the least waved to Carlos.

It felt great to find someone else driving in the rain.

Looking Good Carlos.

Saw a Vanagon Westy rolling on slotted aluminum wheels today parked at Hansig's.  
Who knew slots came in the Bus bolt pattern???
On another note, I saw a nicely restored late 70s Chevette also on slots.
