howdy.
just figured i should check in here first.
i've got a 2001 NB TDI. have owned it for almost a year and a half now, and have yet to wash it. it replaced my dearly beloved 1990 Honda Civic Wagon DX, which finally expired after more than 330,000 miles. i expect to keep the Beetle as long; it has a mere 123k (i bought it with 98k).
i like cars; for a while i had three, but now i'm down to two. other than the NB, i've got a 1970 Jaguar 420G that's going back together as a street rod. i earn my paycheck as a mechanic in a shop that specializes in British cars. my current projects there include a complete colour change of a 1967 MGB GT (with new interior and A/C install) from Bermuda Blue to to Pale Primrose, a resto-mod of a 1951 Jaguar XK120 (late model 4.2 engine, disc brakes, etc.), and a full restoration of a Bentley S3 (which, for some reason, has been rebuilt into a Rolls-Royce Silver Cloud III at some point in its history).
i brew my own beer.
i volunteer with a couple local nonprofits. one is a bicycle co-op, and the other purchases and donates sculpture for public enjoyment.
my bicycle collection is worth more than my car collection.
i'm not sure how many computers i own. i quit counting at 30.
i retired from Sears at age 32. no, the retirement check wasn't enough to live on.
i'm still in college; i've spent 14 years total as a full-time undergraduate student. i have no degrees. theoretically, i'll be graduating this December with a BA in English. keep your fingers crossed.
cheers!
