VW Things in Winter

Well, my thing gets used year-round, no matter how hot or cold it is outside. Oh... wait... you said "VW" Thing...

The majority of them have the BN4 gas heater --- same as the VW Bus. It keeps the thing quite toasty!

You made me think of a Prince Albert piercing incorporating a VW hood ornament. Yuck.

Shaggie. Twice a year isn't exactly "year round".

My first car was a Thing, '74 model but that was almost 30 years ago. I'm in Alabama so the winters weren't that bad but it was cold and drafty as you say. But as a teenager, I don't recall it being unbearable.

We don't get much snow here but we do get an ice storm about every other year. I remember being the only thing (no pun intended) on the road. Maybe it was teenage foolishness but I pulled a lot of folks out of ditches that weekend.

Long johns and a warm coat would be my suggestion. And if ya don't like the car, let me know. I'd love to have another one.

Careful... You'll be married soon, too... ;-)

I'm a firm believer in driving the right car for the weather. If it is a nice day, take the convertible. If it is raining, take something else. After all, there really is only one right way to drive a convertible. The top is just in case of rain while you are out!

(Same applies to uncivilized, very cold weather!:~)

Care to drive to Texas to pay for and pick one up? (I'm serious. I'd like to have the driveway space back. Email me for pictures and particulars...)
