Right on! This is what I keep telling my wife. She has never been in a
running VW. They just don't want to start for her I guess. However, she picks
her late 60's Sear's Spaceliner bicycle for neighborhood cruises over her new
fancy bells and whistles mountain bike with all the gears. It's the same sort
of feeling. When I lived in Fayetteville, I did a lot more bike
riding(friendlier streets). When I rode my 67 Flying O Express, the whole day
had a totally different feel. I college, after big tests, I would just ride
around to calm my nerves. Driving in my VW's has the same feeling. When I
was 15 and learning to drive, my dad and I would get some chicken strips and
just drive for hours in a stock 70 bug. I think I'll pull out the old bikes at
lunch today.

Peter: Got the patina 66 Westy out the other day for some attention to
detail in preparation for the trip to Bulli Gras. Did a few things like LUBE
THE FRONT SUSPENSION, but best part drove it around for awhile just to give it
some road test. DRIVING an original VW like this is like taking 40 years off
of your life. Sort of like relaxing and listening to 50s/60s music. And no
disrespect intended, but it ain't the same thing driving a slammed big engine
cal-look rat rod; I know, I have some of those too. So Peter is 100% correct,
get that thing out and drive it. Heck, I bet Peter loved that drive so much
the price of the DC just doubled.

Hey y'all,
Some of you are bumming about my considering selling the DC, so I thought I'd
let you know that I drove him to work today. It's been a while since I've done
this, and ohhhhhh did it bring back driving my '62 every day for 5 1/2 years.
I'll be doing this more often now with whichever Bus.
Keeping em on the road,
Peter
