people that steal things SUCK!! maybe i need to make a
big sticker for the bumpers of my cars. my buddy had a 65
rag top bug and he was the 2nd owner ripped off one night
it was his main ride and has kinda scared him of owning another VW. yesterday my aircooled bug helped bring back
our bus so older bro picked up the wasser machine :) 66
bug with a 1600cc still 6volt was on a 911 mission, anyway
seems some still repect others joys and others just try
and get " free " things by ripping them off. ITS WRONG!


my 2cents.
happy friday all
Joe
