First VW was a '63 Beetle, as a wedding gift in 1964 @ at age 25. Second VW
was a 65(?) Beetle Ragtop SunRoof model in 1968 at age 30. Third VW was a 68
BreadBox aircooled that I bought in Alaska in 1980 at age 40, Fourth VW was
an 85 GL Vanagon purchased in Alaska in 1990, and the Fifth VW was a 1988
Vanagon GL purchased in 1998. I'm 62 and still drivng the '88.

Plan to be buried out in the  country in the family plot, strapped in and
sittin' up right in the ol' 88 GL. Had to buy two burial plots in order to
fit.

BTW, Bulley's age comments are a bit like the question "Who's buried in
Grant's Tomb?"
