My first mk1 caught fire and burned to a crisp.  Two weeks after we sold it.   

Nah, I'd still woulda drove it (as I post from my 78, broken down on I5 north in 112 degree heat while trying to get to seattle)

what about on cornelius pass @ cornell when it pissed all over the road?

Looking for some....I haven't had the car in almost 10 years now so I'm not sure if I still have any....It wasn't anything pretty...Cardboard brown..What am I saying...It was rust with cardboard brown accents..Holes in all the floor boards....Couldn't put anything in the hatch because it would drop out...haha..I didn't even have a license yet.. You couldn't talk when in it...Well you could but nobody could hear you...Grinding noise in every gear (or maybe that was the fact that I had no clue how to drive)... radio worked when it wanted to....Wow....I hadn't thought about this in years

Memories 

My first watercooled was a 79 brown metallic. I miss that single-round grille. I built it out of two rabbits and had to completely rewire it because of the shitty fusebox. In the first month I blew both the front CV's and asploded a clutch. Had to get the half-shafts off the other rabbit by turning it on it's side and chiseling out the 12point bolts. I sold the car three years later for 300 after having bought it off a tweaker for 100. It's the only VW that I've ever profited from by selling, even though I lost money in the end because of all the speeding tickets. I wish I still had it. I'd trade all my rocco's, the 79, the 82 and the 85, just to get one solid running round-eye rabbit at this point.

Its okay, most people on here would rather see pics of your boobs anyway.  Since you still have those.........

Tally on if we want to see you naked:
