<br />
Since I was 17 I've pretty much always had 2 cars, one to drive and one in some kind of state of restoration. For almost 6 months I had only had one car, and I was getting an itch to own something that I could take a wrench too. <br />
<br />
Growing up my sister had this amazing 1974 VW Beetle, I LOVED IT, and she hated it. I begged my parents to save it and give it to me, but my sister and I are 11 years apart.<br />
<br />
So I've always wanted a bug and I was moving into a place where I would have an extra parking space so I thought I should start looking. My requirements were it that it be a bug, for under $500, that was a complete car.<br />
<br />
Not long after that I found a $500 1973 VW BUG! I called the gentleman in the add and when I asked him the price he said, I don't know I put $500 but I'll take $300... and I can tow it to your house.<br />
