Volkswagen Beetle...


I went to the grocery store today and in the parking was a Volkswagen Beetle from around 1967. It was in horrible condition with rusted chrome and faded paint. The windshield was cloudy. I pointed it out to my wife and said "That car is almost as old as you!"


I smiled remembering some school friends who drove VW's in the 1970's

As we left the store an older heavyset woman had squeezed herself into the car and was starting the engine. She backed out and another guy was watching and commented "that's really nice to see such a car of that vintage on the road these days" and my reply was "It wouldn't surprise me if she's the original owner!"

The two of us laughed and each went to our cars. He waved as we passed each other leaving!

Happy New Year!
