Instead of doing the things I needed to do today I first had to have the Karmann Ghia towed, and completely unrelated I’m now waiting for the plumber to call and say that he’s on his way. On the upside: the bathroom floor is very clean, and the old car has a new fuel pump.
When I was at the car place this morning (they work on classic VWs almost exclusively) I was drawn to an old silver Porsche in perfect condition. I said something about it to one of the guys working there, and he surprised me by telling me the car was a fake. What I saw was a very real-looking plastic porsche-shell on top of a VW engine. According to the website they start at a little over $17 000.
