Back in the late sixties, my father used to say that the only drivers he feared were teenaged boys in pick-ups and teenaged girls in Beetles. He figured both groups had a death-wish.

How about teenage boys who picked up girls in Beetles?

You know this goes both ways....I hate it when I have to drive dh's truck to work when he has to get the kids from school. It has hunting stickers all over it and the whole back window is done in "Real Tree camo". The only thing worse was when he used to chew tobacco and make me go buy him some while at grocery store. I would alway have someone say something like "you know chewing is bad for you"! Gawd that used to tick me off.

DW and I bought a minivan in 2005 when the 2nd kid came along. We coulda put 2 car seats in the back of our Saturn SW2, and in fact there still are 2 cars seats (at times) in the back of it.

In truth, we didn't need the minivan. One car woulda been fine for a bit longer. However, fall of 2005, when our son started pre-school, yeah, a second vehicle woulda been a good choice bordering on need.

Had I known then what I know now, I woulda bought a Prius (for me) and let DW keep driving the SW2. She loved it, but now that she's been minivanized she hates it.

Remember how noisy those old VW Beetles were?  They sounded like they were going to explode when they accelerated.

Noisy, cold, rattled and rolled.  But they always started and always got me where I was going

Imagine if they could have ever gotten a legal version of a Citroen 2CV Duck in the US. Now there's a scary thought!

What would it do? --about 45 mph with a tailwind? But just steer it off the road, take out the seat, and have a picnic. Fun car, in a very nutty French way.

The two horses was a great city car - me mate had one in London
