Reply to "Meet Penelope ! (and a few questions)"

Congrats on the car! Love the color and almost went that way too.

I’m still a fairly new owner myself and am familiar with all the feelings you are describing. I still check the weather forecast for my days off every week with great interest. I find the rawness and lack of modern conveniences endearing (although I’m glad I got the heated seats!). I grin every time I make the 3rd to 4th shift at about 60 mph with the engine roaring away behind me.

The car makes friends everywhere it goes although most people around here have no idea what it is. Around here (Louisiana) if it’s not a muscle car or truck most have no idea. If I had a nickel for everyone who thought it was a Karmann Ghia…



I too have little mechanical ability and even less time… I did read the idiots guide to VW and carry some spare tools but I’d likely rely on my AAA membership for anything more than a simple fix. I now have 4500 miles on mine and it’s going great.
