Whos car is a daily driver? - mines not

« Reply #1 on: December 29, 2003, 06:13:58 PM »
Homer the Super Bus (a type 1 powered 73 transporter) is my daily driver.  My wife's daily driver is a 75 Super Beetle Convertible.  Our "back up" transportation is a 74 Super Beetle.  I've got several project cars (as in junkers that will probably never get fixed) including a 63 Beetle, a 68 Autostick Beetle, a 69 Beetle, a 73 Beetle, and a 74 Sun Bug edition Super Beetle.

I do own a "real car" (as non-VW enthusiast like to call them) . . . I've got a nice 88 Buick Reatta sitting in the garage.  It's waiting on me to win the lottery so I can have the power brake booster rebuilt . . . haven't driven it in almost 2 years now.  Until I got into VW's, every daily driver I had ever owned was a GM product . . . with the exception of my first car, a 64 Buick, all of them were Chevys.  One of the Chevys had a rear mounted air-cooled engine . . .

cool, I hope I can get my 78' vert going as a daily driver. I am working on it in my spare time (if anyone wants to help work on it, feel free to help  :;): )

Our daily driver is the 2002 New Beetle or the Jeep...depends on if we both drive or ride together.  We usually drive the orange bug on the weekends or to VW events and the bus is our camper.

Misty's is the New Beetle and mine's the 98 Vocho.  It is driven around 50 miles a day.  Not exactly a vintage car, but you sure get the vintage experience!  It's fun to see the expression on people's faces at the gas station when you tell them its a '98.  Our back-up is the '76 camper.
