Well it's sunday and I offically own a 1974 VW beetle. We didnt get the back to our house until midnight friday night. It took us about 3 1/2 hours to get to Bellwood because we had to stop in BRadford to drop off the 4 wheeler and then we got detoured because a train had set a fire and closed a road. The best part is that when PA closes a road they dont give you a detour route and the gas stations dont sell PA maps. Luckily we still found my bug.
Well we get there and the guy has 3 bugs, my very nice condition green one and 2 other old parts looking bugs.
The bug was too long for the trailer to close so we had to take the trailer ramps off and hold the bug in with straps. It was a very stressful ride home because the whole time i was waiting for the bug to fall off the back. So we got home safely and just left it on the trailer til the next morning. Then at 9 the next morning we had to take it off the trailer and put the trailer back together to return it to ryans grandpa- it took about 30 minutes to get the car from the bottom of the street into the garage. I think i stalled about 13 times. I realized I need a little std practice before I can go in public. It doesnt help that the gas pedal is broken off and all i have to step on is a little metal piece AND that the seat wont move up and i cant reach the clutch without seating halfway up the seat. but i still love it.
Last night ryan and i decided we needed to ride it again and so i took it over to Wolf creek rd with no insurance, no registration, no inspection, no plates. not risky at all. oh and bad tires :).
it was so much fun though- i got the hang of the shifting and only stalled once. it was sooo much fun. i just love it.
