Mine was a '67 Beetle. I was working as a mess cook at a military base in Yorktown. It was the only place I could work at age 14. When I was 16 a 'lifer' was transferring and he liked my work ethic. Asked how much I saved and I told him $300. He sold it to me in 1970 for $300. w/27,000 miles. What a deal! Drove it until it had 100,000 miles and sold it for $600. I always wanted the hot, fast cars, but money controlled my ride back then and the cost of insurance.
Now I have the hot golf cart!
