As some of you may know, my '02 beetle went to the great big junkyard in the sky. Someone decided stop signs didn't apply to them and that they wanted to occupy the same space as my car at the same time. Which didn't end up so well for me.
Or maybe it did because I got Milk Stegall, a fully loaded automatic 2012 Sportline Beetle, out of the deal!
He had 2200 km on him when I picked him up, so I got a great deal. He was driven by a VW Canada exec for a bit then sold to VW Canada auctions where my local VW dealer picked him up.
So the story behind the name: I'm a huge fan of my local football team, Winnipeg Blue Bombers. And one of their greatest players was Milt Stegall. Milt Stegall was such a good player, my city named a street after him. And that's where I was hit, the corner of Ellice and Milt Stegall Drive. My previous car's name was Blue, after the Blue Bombers, and she had a ton of Bomber gear on her, some of which is already on Milk Stegall, including the plates. I decided I wanted to incorporate something about the colour of my car in his name too, so Milk Stegall seemed fitting since he's Candy White.
And here he is! My apologies for the dirt, we're in the middle of a deep freeze right now, today is the first day it hasn't felt close to -40 since I picked Milk Stegall up. And even though it's warmed up, it is no where near warm enough to wash a car! He does have nicer rims, but in weather like we have here, winter tires are a must and I didn't want to spend a ton of money right now on nice rims for winter...
