VW Beetle goes extinct as last one rolls off assembly line

5. Bought a '72 in '93 with my last Army paycheck

God I loved that car. I could fit it into anywhere when I moved to Richmond to go back to school.

One of my first dates with my now wife I leaned over and we kissed at a stoplight, I didn't realize my foot was off the break and I bumped into the car in front of me. When I went up to apologize (no damage) the woman in the car was laughing, she'd seen us kissing and knew what was going on.

Came out of my apartment one day to find it crunched up in the front. My rich (probably drunk) neighbor had backed into it and driven it into the car behind it. I got insurance money but the frame was bent and I couldn't actually close the front trunk. Wouldn't pass inspection. Looking back I could have fixed it enough but I didn't. I sold it and I've regretted it ever since.

Saw one recently for sale for $5,000 but then we suddenly needed to buy a house and I couldn't get it. I'm going to run by there and see if it's still available. I doubt it but it's worth a try.
