Did your neighbor think you were being unpatriotic re buying a German car

? My grandfather thought buying a foriegn car was unpatriotic. He drove only Lincolns and Cadillacs.

No not at all. Havnt seen that kind of opinion since I read "How To Keep Your VW AliveFor The Compleat Idiot" in the 60s and my father saw it. He was strictly a Chevy man and couldnt understand anyone not buying American. HE hated foreign cars! I overheard a conversation between him and mom about my love for VWs. They wondered if they were raiseing a degenerate!

But (after gas prices went up in 73) walking home from college spring break I saw a VW in our driveway. "WHo do we know who drives a VW" I wondered. "And how would they DARE to park it in my fathers driveway!"

It turned out it had a blown engine and he bought it for $300 for me to fix!

ThanksDad!
