Let's see... I'm 50. I won't list all the cars I have had but the VWs???
79 Westmoreland Rabbit (POS) - threw a rod on the NJ Turnpike in 1986. Left
it.
81 Scirrocco - Nicest VW until the pully fell off the end of the crankshaft
on the interstate going into Burlington VT in the winter.
81 Westy sits in my backyard protecting valuable ice cube trays.
83 Aircooled 7 pass. Gone to the  junkyard in the sky. I tried giving it
away.
84 Waterboxer semi-weekender - Still out there somewhere I suspect. I always
really liked that van.

Car I wish I still had? 1977 Toyota Celica GT. Man that car would run. Fit
like a glove. Not very good in the snow. We traded it in on an 87 CRX.
Should have traded the Scirrocco (see above).

Where ever you are, there you be. Unless you're driving my van, in which
case, you ain't got there yet.
