Drove that daily for a year or so around 98...



(in norcal)

Non event in terms of comfort, fun or practicality - great car on all accounts, but the lack of AC and the trouble with carburators (hot restarts were next to impossible), coupled with the average visibility of low position 6V brake lights and constant maintenance got to be a bit of a PITA. Classic are best as second cars IMO ;-) Doesn't help it replaced a Karmann ghia so I was over oldies as primary cars by then. The final straw was my wife (in a skirt) having to push start me (she didn't know how to bump start so she had to push, OK?) near the GG bridge exit. It became a second car after that...
