I agree completely. As an added bonus, it has interchangeable fenders!

So, Julie will have a hissy, but let's talk about what Erika needs.

?

If I have it right, she is 19 and is to start her sophomore at NYU. That's in 
Nooo York City. She might have a place to work on a project, but not really. 
Her Mom, Julie, is a major enthusiast, but has no real place to work either.

?

I say first, Julie needs to buy a house. Then she'll have a garage and yard. 
Indispensable, in my opinion.

?

Then Erica needs to decide if she is a camper. She wanted a Ghia before the 
Shorty, so I'd have to say no.

?

We all know that Splitties are the best vehicle in the world. We all know this. 
but we also know how much work they are. Body, paint, glass, mechanicals. She 
is in college far away, so it will take her forever or cost a big bag of money.

?

Splitties are the simplest mechanically. None of that CV joint and brake 
booster, etc. Bays are too heavy for the 1600, so she would have to have a big 
Type 1 built or go to the Type 4, which no one can fix, especially a youngster.

?

I say she needs a pre-SuperBeetle Vert. Easy to fix, small, fun, fairly?common, 
not a huge cash outlay.

?

That's what I say
