Sounds to me like you need to "convert" your husband instead of getting rid of the Bug!
When my wife and I got married almost 12 years ago, you couldn't have melted me and poured me into a VW. I grew up with Chevys . . . with an occasional Buick or Pontiac thrown in for good measure. For the first few years we were married Joy kept hounding me to find her a convertible Beetle . . . I'd always come back with something like "I'm not letting anyone I care about drive in one of those tin can death traps that Hitler invented." But she was persistant and my step-son joined the fight when he was about to get his learners permit and saw an old 71 Beetle in a million pieces for sale. I gave in to him and helped him buy it (the guy was asking a whooping $125 for it) for several reasons.
1 - It was cheap.
2 - He would have to get his hand dirty and put in a lot of sweat equity to get it on the road.
3 - I didn't have to worry about him getting on the road in that death trap because of #2.
That was about 8 years ago. Since then I've gotten rid of all but one of my non-VWs (I've got an '88 Buick Reatta in the garage, but haven't had it on the road in almost 2 years). I've owned probably 50 VWs during that time. I currently have 3 running Beetles and a Bus in my driveway, one project Beetle in the garage, 2 more projects stored at my daughter's boyfriends house, two more running Beetles at my mom's house. My daily driver is a '73 bus ("Homer the Superbus") and my wife's daily driver is a '75 Superbeetle Convertible ("Sunny"). Our backup transportation is a 74 Superbeetle ("Tommy"). I've been involved in the Volks Folks club since it's inception in February of '98. Almost all of our vacations in the last 6 years have been planned around VW events. It's an addiction . . . and if anyone is around them long enough, they will become addicted.
But, if you still want to sell it, I think there is one more spot at my mom's house she might let me stick something in . . .
