I don't know why I never knew this car existed before, Jo. I keep coming back to this thread just to look at it! I need to go learn more about it.

I seriously do want one again....was even looking on eBay to see if I could maybe find a good deal....maybe give my Fusion to Rooster next year and get myself back into a Karmann Ghia. Would be a good Florida car, especially if I could find a convertible.

Mine was a 1964....and they changed the styling slightly in the 70s. I didn't care for it quite as much, but still a nice looking car. I liked what Dante called it...the poor boi (or grrrl) Porsche.

Glad I could share it with you Dapper!

Great thread!

I absolutely do and coincidentally, a couple of friends and I were talking about this last week!

I had a Ford Pinto-not my favorite car. My brother drove it out from Maryland to CA when I was 22.

One day it broke down on this busy street when I had both daughters in the car (youngest about 1 and other almost 3).

It got towed and it was dead. Piece of crap car.

At same time, a guy I had been dating at the time, started dating another woman with two kids and he liked my apartment so much, he rented an apartment for her right across the hall from me. Yeah, I felt great about it.

One day, out of his guilt over the situation, he drove over with a used, but in beautiful shape, 1974 Super Beetle. Yes, I accepted his gift. I was on welfare with no car, two little ones and had to watch him go into new girlfriend's apartment each day.

Anyway. Loved, loved my Super Beetle! I had a big " Sisterhood is Powerful" bumper sticker across the back of the car and got the finger from men and thumbs up from women.

My first girlfriend installed an awesome stereo in it one day when I was at work for my birthday. Oh, we had some great times in that car! Amazing what you can do in a Super Beetle!

Then I got rear-ended on the Santa Ana freeway exchange to the 55 and it was an accordion.

Still miss that car. *sniff*

I wish I still had her.

princessbelle · 10-26-2012, 08:45 PM

This was my first car. I was 16. Loved her. Her name was Missy and she took me to school every morning, along with the 15 people i picked up on the way LOL.

This was my second car, i was around 18, but the one i loved the most. It was EXACTLY like this. Color and all. Had a 8-track complete with ACDC blaring from my HUGE speakers in the back that my brother installed. Ohhhhhhhhhh those were good times!!!!!

I didn't get my license until I was 36 years old, and

I still drive the only car that I bought myself,

Bob, the Toyota Camry.

Crazy on the muscle cars of the 70s ...

Bought a brand new 400 cubic inch, 4 barrel, 8 cylinder silver 1976 Firebird Formula. I will always miss it but not the speeding tickets. Threw a rod one time ragging it ... $1300.00 good time.

Oh to be young and stupid again - I think not ... it wears me out remembering all that. *laughing*
