My (dad's) Charlie Bug
*is tired*
The reason that I am tired is because last night, I helped my dad pick up his new car.
It's a royal blue, '59 Volkswagen Beetle, and it's the most adorable thing in the world! If it didn't belong to my dad, I'd want it so badly...
But, yeah, he bought it from a guy named Paul who lives a few counties down from us. It hasn't been out of the guy's garage for about 10 years, and there's a lot of stuff that needs to be worked on. All the tires are flat, it needs two more hubcaps, a new window and windshield, new windshield wipers, a lot of welding, a new battery, and a new coat of paint to cover the rust.
Ah well. At least the engine works.
My dad's already named the car "Charlie." (Yes, we name our cars. We also name other people's cars, if they want us to. ) He had two older Beetles when we lived in California, but one got crashed into, and the other we had to sell. ;_;
Also, once he gets it fixd, it'll be a good way for me to learn how to drive a stick. ^^
