My first car was a '67 Beetle with a dropped valve. I fixed it (and I look back and marvel that it actually ran; my mechanical skills at the time left a lot to be desired) and like the OP, it was a ticket to freedom and joy via a set of wheels. That Beetle was quickly replaced by a series of newer and better cars, most of them Japanese.

Unlike RedTele58, I've not been enamored with German cars. Most of my favorite cars (Datsun 1200, Mazda RX7 and Miatas) have been Japanese. I work on German equipment, and certainly don't buy into the "superior German engineering" thing at all. My Boxster is the first German car I've had since the Beetle.
