Classic Cars

Herbie's cousin stopped by today.

One just came up for sale from the movie?

Coincidentally, about a week ago I passed a New Beetle that was done up as Herbie. That's another car that you used to see all over, and now hardly ever do. I guess they're mostly in scrapyards now. :(

Not sure of the name of the song, but is it The Beach Boys ?

Happy Birthday, surprised you can legally drink. You're approaching "Old Fartdom", but not there yet... ;) ;)

Youngster? Why thank you 😊 I’ll be 59 tomorrow 😳

Well then Happy Day before your Birthday.

Happy Birthday!!

How much do you think this would have been - 6 or $7k?

I was really surprised that some young people I know were so interested in classic 4 wheel drive trucks.
I was even more surprised to hear the prices they were paying for some of these trucks and even asked if I still had my old 4-runner and wanted to buy it.

Big bucks.

That's pretty heavily modified

Some people have just too much money 😳
