I'll check in at 54. Got my first VW (a 1957 beetle) in 1969. Besides
my 87 Westy, I have a 56 beetle (bought in 1975), and a 98 New Beetle.

But I too think Unka Joel's got us all beat! There's a rumor out
there about a picture of Unka Joel standing in the crowd at the
Beetle introduction in Berlin, 1936!  :-)
