My first car was a 1966 VW Bus- Yup, the hippie van. It only had 3 wheels when I bought it- it had hit a curb and tore up the transaxle. Thankfully, it came with a book "How to Fix a Volkswagen for the Complete Idiot". Paid $25 for it, towed it home, and 4 months later was crusin around in a 36 hp monster that did 0-60 in about an hour and a half. Complete with peace sign on the front.

Over the next few years I went through 13 V-Dubs, none of which I paid more than $125 for. When they broke, I'd take them to the junk yard and get my money back and buy another one.

I had 25 years of driving experience before I could afford a "real" car.

While I may have bought my SVXii inexpensively, I have since spent way too much on them, like everyone else on this forum.

And loved every minute of it!
