It is a fully restored 1970 VW Beetle, not as fast as my Vette but you will be surprised at the number of thumbs up it gets.
My daily driver is a 1999 E250 super cargo.I used to drive a 1984 350 Dodge maxi van. I bought it from my neighbor for $300(rusty and mean). I drive it until the engine blew a cylinder. I know what you mean about driving utility over pleasure. I had a 2006 Bmw X3 for 7 months(not for me), I got rid of it. I've been driving my daughters 2006 Jetta(fun car, great on gas)while she's in college. Nothing beats the Vette on a nice day with the top down. I still get the same thrill even after 33 years of ownership.It looks like I'll be shopping for another hooptie, my other kid is getting his license soon.My '06 VRed Coupe became my daily driver in August, but on "off' days due to weather or family needs, I still use my old daily driver, a 1997 Clubwagon, 15 passenger van! It was my everyday driver from 1997-2004 (when I bought a Mustang GT to tide me over until I could get my Corvette). Ater 7 years of driving only the large van, daily, you can understand where I was coming from when I felt as though I deserved a Vette! I knew I would be in for the "selfish" comments when I got my Vette, so 7 years of driving a non-selfish, 15-passenger van helped my cause!
The 1999 Kia is my wife's old car, all original except the driver. Now it's me on rainy or icy days lately! Both have 106,000 miles on them! They have been great, solid, maintenance-free vehicles to own. However, as the pictures show, neither of them stay in the garage anymore. The van still gets the family to vacations comfortably each summer. However, I ALWAYS miss my Vette when I'm driving anything else.
hnoes (fingers crossed) hope I get another 152k! Bought it as a lease return with around 38k and since then been using Mobil 1 every 6k. Engine sounds like it did when I got it!
