I had bugs in the past, one was a 1962, later I had a 1969, they were simple and a lot of fun.
In college a guy I knew had beater looking bug, primer black, gutted interior, dual port 2180cc motor that was hot rodded and a stinger exhaust that stuck straight out the back. It also had a select a drop front end, the front was very low. Long story short, we would race the rich kids that had new Trans Ams and Camaros or whatever else their parents had bought them.
They would always accept a race with a rattly looking VW, little did they know this was a 13 second bug and would blow their fancy cars off the road, we made some extra cash that way.
I always keep an eye out for air cooled VW's, maybe I'll get another to goof with someday.

She’s cool and it just reinforced what I’ve been saying, all cool old people drive yellow vehicles! ;)

This was a very nice video to watch. I'm glad I found this. It almost brings a tear to your eye. What I enjoyed the most is the genuine love that she has not only for her car but on life. That's probably why she looks so good for her age. I would've never guessed she's 90! I was thinking at least ten-fifteen years younger. I also appreciate how well versed the host was giving here the spotlight and enjoying the story as much as everyone else. You can tell he loves her as a person and respects her for keeping the car all these years in such tip-top shape. If only everyone could treat their cars as well as she can, there would be a lot less sh**boxes on the streets that's for sure!

This makes me really miss my Westy. Maybe one of the young BS owners here will post a story like this (owning their BS for 50 years).

I doubt it will be me though. I can perhaps do 30 years.
