My girlfriend, whether she likes it or not, is a
hippy.    A modern hippy, but a hippy none the less,
and as such, thinks Karmann Ghias are the cutest cars
in the world.  Now couple that with yesterday being
her birthday, perusing ebay for doublecabs, finding a
good running '65 KG only 20 miles from our house...
what do you get?  An impulse bid!  Well, i actually
placed the bid, but she made me do it!  (yeah, right).
 To make matters worse, we won it.

Now we have a pearl white ghia that needs a little
clutch work in the driveway.  Which, of course, makes
for happy hippies.

So now what do i do?  Rebuild the 2.1l i was going to
put in my '84 westy, or get the ghia ready for daily
driving?  I've forgotten how, um... organic it is to
drive an almost 30 year old oxyboxer vw.

I guess i have an actual question, too... what is the
best way to ease a mechanically inept girlfriend into
the world of auto mechanics?  Any tips for this one?

Happy friday to everyone, and the moral of the story
is you might just get what you bid for...
