Miss Poppy Drives Away

 She is off to a new home!

 

Miss Poppy is for Sale!

Several years ago, the poor girl had an engine fire, and because we are too old and tired to re-do the seals and wiring, we have decided to sell her. 

So sad.

It's an Adventure

Hi Dani

I am here.

The Coveted Steering Wheel

Except I want a clock in the center, instead of the Wolfsburg or VW symbol.

Planned Obsolescence

...in 1959 Volkswagen mocked it in a now-legendary advertising campaign. While acknowledging the widespread use of planned obsolescence among automobile manufacturers, Volkswagen pitched itself as an alternative.

"We do not believe in planned obsolescence," the ads suggested. "We don't change a car for the sake of change."

Go, Volkswagen!

The Unhappy Poppy

A little trip out of the garage resulted in this:

AND. There's a corresponding ding on the RR fender, of course!




Not my doing! I guess our motto of "one thing leads to 13 others" is going to hold true. Brakes aren't handled yet, but just in case they get figured out soon, let's put another chore on the list, right?

Here's how I feel about it. This is actually before I saw the damage.

Which I didn't notice until I thought I had a great avatar picture for The Samba forum. Not.

And. Of course there's a corresponding ding on the RR fender. I already said that, didn't I? I'm in shock, shock I tell you!
