How Many air cooled VW owners, Who had an air cooled VW car or van back in the 60-80s Options

I was just thinking of all the Air cooled VWs that I had. I started with my first car a 1958 VW Bug that I bought in 1968. $75. And a real piece of shit but my first car.
I went on to having more new VW Bugs and Campers in my life and got started with VW –Porsche 914 in 1978. Always loved the VW air cooled product and also enjoyed a new Rabbit Pick Up in 1981

Learned to drive on a 55 Beetle. My dad had a new 1964 beetle that cost $1 a pound with a sun roof and stone guard shields and radio. 1967 Ghia. Super beetle, 69 square back and a 1969 bus.
We used to buy bugs for under $100 in the 70's to smash them at a 4th of July party. We would remove the glass and gas tank and hand out sledge hammers and pick axes.
I remember taking the remnants to a scarp yard and getting leas then $10 in scrap steel for one of them.
Was amazed at how the the women got into beating the crap out of a car. Figured it was a way to take out the anger for all the times a car failed you.
Also learned just how well they were built and tough to destroy.

Hey Bruce. Are you talking about the women or the cars?
