My dh had a green '66 bus when I met him. He drives a '72 bug as his daily driver now.Staying in Balancehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14729612779930162079noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13413591.post-76399791383042366252010-03-21T15:29:56.444-04:002010-03-21T15:29:56.444-04:00That was a charming video.

We were taking a drive up the scenic Highway 1 in California and something really big in the engine broke. I admired him so much. He took the whole engine apart, replaced the bad piece, and the next day on we went. In the late 60s I had a forest green VW beetle that broke down all the time.Barbara Schoenebergerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16951360211636509133noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13413591.post-76005798201161071392010-03-18T11:57:37.555-04:002010-03-18T11:57:37.555-04:00You never drove in it?!

I don't think I ever drove in the van, but I definitely remember it and the stories of you driving it while he was fixing something. Too funny.TACParenthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14030661331128426243noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13413591.post-16141080199128195892010-03-17T12:18:55.904-04:002010-03-17T12:18:55.904-04:00Thanks, Marilena!

But, it did serve us well while it was working, lol! (The engines are expensive to replace in those things!) We had many a long drive in it with ds when he was a baby.Staying in Balancehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14729612779930162079noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13413591.post-12945936296828556762010-03-17T01:38:45.768-04:002010-03-17T01:38:45.768-04:00Nice we used to have an '89 VW Vanagon.
