1972 Volkswagen Super Beetle. In many ways it was like my Yaris. It was reliable, fuel efficient, fun to drive. It was my only other car to have a name. My Super Beetle's name was "Jersey Bob", my Yaris is "Miss Sakamoto". Unlike the Yaris, the Super Beetle needed a lot of regular maintenance, brakes had to adjusted every few months, points, condenser and spark plug changed every other year. The generator use to throw brushes regularly and the need to rebuild the auto-stick solenoid was a constant issue. It was over ten years old when I got it so rust was already a losing battle but oh how I loved it.
