  1. VW buses (baywindow style was made in Brazil till circa 2004 and Beetles in Mexico till circa 2003). If you want to see some nice VW's for sale check out www.oldbug.com or TheSamba.com

    Personally after restoring the beetle I posted above I would buy one already restored to save a lot of time, aggravation, and money. I would buy a car from the south west USA since it is very unlikely it has any rust issues which is the death of most cars. By the way Ari of course you could drive the awesome Pollito! Did I mention the car has been driven over 400,000 miles! Stock transmission but on the 2nd engine.

  2. Drove home to Oklahoma to say goodbye to my Dad. He's in a hospice dying of stomach cancer and has no time left. He's still conscious and in no pain, but having pretty labored breathing while talking. Never drank or smoked in his life.

    Fucking stomach cancer...

    Sorry to hear hope you and the family find peace and solace. Glad you were able to see him.

  3. My 70 Beetle has been running awful for the last month or so. First the carburetor was leaking so had it replaced when working on the float of the old carburetor did not help. Then the fuel pump was leaking as well and installed an old fuel pump I had laying around. However the car kept on running poorly and the gas milage had gone from 28 mpg in mixed highway/city driving to 20 mpg. Lastly took the old vacuum advance distributor and replaced it with an old mechanical advance distributor I had and it is running better. I think the diaphragm on the vacuum advance system is busted! Luckily they sell replacements for $35 or used ones (risky) for $10. I should know in a few days after I check the mpg if the problem has been sold.
