This brought my first car to mind…1976 Datsun B210 $4029.00 I loved that car I was 16 my dad co-signed the loan thought it was outrageous that my payment was $56.00 a month. Again I loved that car. Wonder how many times I patted the dash.

Glad the VW is getting some attention. I would buy back my 1989 240 GLT auto petrol estate that I sold in 2018, if I won some money. Had it 10 years and never any real trouble. Service items or age related preventative maintenance. Sold at 234,000 miles and ran great. Replaced it with a 1996 Volvo 940 LPT petrol estate automatic. Again no major issues. 210,000miles. paid £250 in 2016. You do get attached to cars. One car I was pleased to see go was a Lexus! 2006 Lexus IS 220 Diesel. Looked lovely, high miles. Immaculate MOT history and service history. Had 174k. Paid £1,475. Got AC working, new condenser, new Avon 7v7 tyres and a few months later the Head Gasket went after 18 months of ownership. Scrapped it and got £350. When it was collected clad to see it go as massive turbo lag, 6th gear unusable unless doing 80mph plus. Positives, comfy, lots of airbags good build quality apart from engine or gearbox.

3:46 not that this is hugely important, but i thought you said "since the engine [gave out], it's been parts on the tree growing green." as in a metaphor for the leftover bits becoming like returning to the creator, becoming green again, having new separate little lives in the sunlight, like an idea of reincarnation in a way.. but then i saw it actually WAS kind of a green color and realized you'd said "parked under the tree, going green... ..."

When power washing the vehicle you REALLY should attempt to wash from the top downward, so that the subsequent dirt is washed away, and not overlaid with dirt from above.
