like the idea of them but drove them enough back in the day to know I don't want to own one now.

My dad bought a 66 new and I drove it plenty until I got hit broadside in it with my future first wife on the way to the Simon and Garfunkle concert at Clowes hall at Butler. (totaled).

I also bought a 59 beetle in Amsterdam in 1970 and drove it all over for a couple of months including over the Pyrenees and the Alps. Great old car but a real pos in terms of handling etc.
