And yet you still can't find parts at most chain autoparts stores. Mail order doesn't help when your car breaks down, and a bug will break down.

We won't even get into the genius of putting a beginning driver into a 50 year old car with non-existent safety features, no driver aids, no modern features, and that will not be able to maintain speed on most Interstate highways. Some times you have to turn off the car guy filter when it comes to non-car people.
