Vehicle history
I built this car to have fun with, and it's common to have 2 or more dogs riding around town with me.This car was built to simply drive and enjoy, not to be perfect. My wife, my dogs, and myself love driving it as much as possible. You can't be mad while driving an old bug... You just can't be.

My wife Afton, my Cali Style family, and all of my VW friends in Slowriders VW club.
