70 bug bought in 83 for $600. Oil changes, brake shoes, seat covers replaced as needed. Maybe $500 spent on that. Oh yeah, it has A/C and a stereo, etc. 401K miles.

Come back and brag in 2021 if it's still running, m'kay?


Reading this thread this morning makes me feel warm and fuzzy inside. Shag, have your hands healed yet?

Please note, Drew -- rec.autos.makers.vw.aircooled is NOT the place for discussions involving a watercooled Golf. In short, if it's got a radiator, it don't belong here.

Thanks for your consideration. Jim O'Malley
