My First Car – VW Thing
Tonight I was watching a show where a teen wanted a Volkswagon Thing. My first car was a VW Thing. It was sooo rusted. I was dating an auto mechanic and he told me that we could restore it. I found the car in the AutoSales paper and I was so excited because it was so cheap. I called the owner at 11:30pm on a Friday night to ask about the car. Even after he told me about the extent of the rust, I didn’t care. I told him we would be there in the morning. He told me not to come too early because I had woken him up (ooops).
So we bought the car and restored it. I loved it so much because no one had one and everyone thought it was cool that it was named ‘The Thing.’ My boyfriend at the time added a new convertible cover, worked on engine and on the body. It was a fun car!
Good times….and a past worth remembering :)
Hugs,
