I have a 78 super vert that the wife calls the sunday go get ice cream car,a 77 standard(wife drives it to work everyday),2 65's and a 55 oval.
The 65's and the oval are projects right now, so needless to say I do not get to drive the Vdubs very often(not until I finish one of the 65's which should be in about a month).

thats cool. i have projects like crazy too. i drive my 74 superbeetle and my 92 passat daily. the 69 is my dads maybe youve seen it its got splash on the side. then the 68 baja is getting prepped for a respray right now. the 74 standard was my sisters and so was the 93 passat. so those are being stored. the 71 was my first beetle i got when i was 12 and is now just way to far gone to restore. then the 75 is a future baja project and my 86 GTI needs painted then i can drive that. now i have a nice solid 67 for a project as well.
