Volkswagen - The Last Mile video

[Qingdao]

Never was big on the German cars. About 5 or so years ago I got my Ghia, just cause I wanted a rear engine vehicle (I entertained the idea of a diesel pusher bus, but the Ghia looked better). After I got it I loved it.

The little design things are fun. Like the fuel pump's gearing off the distributer shaft. I don't know why I like that, but there are things like that throughout the engine/car.

I love the 911, like a fast bug and good looking. But its just not really possible to daily drive a 911 (air cooled) on a 5 figure salary. I don't want a car I can't beat on.

My wife said she like the boxster, and after I started looking figured it is cheap enough for most to have. So I bought her a "badge". I didn't realize that they handle pretty damn well. After that it was a no brainer to get another and make it fast.


So I guess it started with VW.

I remember as a young lad riding in the rumble seat of mother's big. Once we riding down a country road and the front hood flew open. 4 kids in that thing no seat belt no air bag. You wonder how we ever survived. Later in high school several buddies had the super beetle. We could cruise for hours on a couple bucks for gas eight track tape playing smoke on the water. Those were cool cars for sure
