I thought there was a drive in at save a lot Sat morning, So I drove out there, nobody was there but me and some folks driving K cars. So I went down the road and saw that Fab 69 westy we are talking about. Stupie conked out when I got there and I had to push the car 20 feet to get to the service station. I wondered why Stupie sounded like a coffie can full of gravel. Oh look, the fan pulley about fell off.. Great.
But Wait.. theres more, gas is dripping out were the throttle arm comes out the Carb. Its a good thing that VW engines get so hot, the gas just evaporates when it drips on the engine. Since I couldnt get the car restarted, I got to look over the "Super Westy". After I fixed the pully and messed with the gas line so the carb stopped dripping. (Maybe the Float is sticking or something) Off we go.
My Wife drops the kids off at the skating rink and we skate, about 4 oclock, we leave and the Drive in at Save a lot is starting. I Park Stupie and me and the kid walk to Sears to buy some sneakers. When we walk back.. Stupie is surrounded, theres a 50 cadillac and edsell station wagon and other expensive looking cars. An there is Stupie, paint brush paint job and leaking gas. I did not think Allstate would cover burining 7 antique cars, so we made a hasty retreat in a cloud of blue smoke. SC
