Yup. I am flying in Thursday and leaving Sunday. Sidney and I are staying in Bricktown on Friday and Saturday night. Should be fun. Looking forward to seeing all the cars. Good cause too.

Just reading your posts give me a headache. I don't know how you deal with it, joe.

The only reason I'm not freaking out is because the GM of the dealership has gaurunteed I wont pay any more.....

Oh yeah....large doses of benzodiazapine helps too

Evening Y'all.
Well sometimes it is better to be lucky than good. My dad bought a new truck and sold my son his old one for $300.
Now this "old" truck was a 90 Toyota SR5 extra cab,fully loaded 4X4 with only 150k on the clock. The engine was completely rebuilt 50k ago by me, so I know it is actually a little tighter than Toyota makes then. File to fit rings, I miked every frigging part in that engine. There was no way I wanted to hear dads mouth if something let go in that truck EVER!

Dang, that is a good deal from a Grandpa. Back when the world was still black and white I bought a 1960 VW bug for 600 and my dad gave me a interest free loan. That was in 1971 money. I sold it a couple of years later for 650. I wonder what it is worth now.

depending on condition, reasonable daily driver condition about 5 times that, good restored condition about 10 times+ that.

We bought our 69 beetle 22 years ago for 3K its still worth well over 3K probably more as it has a 1916 engine and rhino gearbox in it now, and that's makes for one fast beetle!

I bought a brand new 1973 Super Beatle for $2,700. I had it paid for in one year.

I do love a good beetle, they are so much fun to drive, and everyone has a soft spot for the beetle, almost everyone I have talked to when we are driving him around has owned or driven one at one time or another. There everywhere! And they go forever, well almost forever, ours had to have the motor replaced about two years ago, it finally died in a big way.

Watching the Auctions America, some of the cars need pushing off a cliff, others you just think why did they bother to restore that!

and yet others are just plain ugly and aren't worth thinking about at all

My brother has a 1952 bug as his daily driver. He bought it in 1978. His other car is a 1972 VW camper van. He bought that in 1974.

HHI944 · 08-29-2013, 08:37 PM

Hmm, If my car isn't ready until Wednesday, I'm probably going to end up having put around 2000 miles on their loaner.......wonder if they'll say anything....
