Tell a Volkswagen memory

On days I drive my 1977 VW 'Bus' with Westfalia Camper package, people walk over when parked or at a traffic light, people tell me stories of a Bug, or Ghia, or Bus they rode in once and a great story follows. Ducks in a camper sink (with water) that were rescued after being injured. Cooking on engine while driving. Bugs that needed ice scrapping on the inside of the windsheild due to little heat for defrost. Met my GF/Wife while broken down. Moving all my stuff in a Ghia because I was kicked out.

Would you please tell me yours?

this one time i was walking down the street,mid-summer beautiful day, i had just come from a friends house where i went swimming in his pool and had Hamburgers for lunch, i put cheese on mine with some ketchup and a bit of mustard. i think i had ice tea for a drink but i cant really remember.

anyways i was headed back to my house just strolling along enjoying the scenery when this little puppy came up and just looked at me(it was very cute) so i petted it and continued on my way, but the dog followed me, now i didnt want to take some poor kids dog as my own so i sorta chased it away and it ran away a bit(as well i frightened a squirrel that had been collecting nuts to take home and eat)

..but the dog came back so this time i yelled"get outta here go home" and chased it but to my horror it ran into the street in front of an oncoming car i yelled at the driver to look out but it was no use their radio was to loud it was playing a song by famed swedish pop group ABBA at this point there was nothing i could do but watch as the car drove over top of the poor puppy....who escaped unharmed as he was so small the car passed right over him without touching him

..i though to myself thank god that volkswagon has a high body, and then as the car passed by i noticed that it was not a volkswagon but in fact a Volvo

That's my volkswagon story...it's one that will stay with me to tell to my grand kids

What happened to the puppy?

It grew up to be "eddie" on fraser...now that son of a bitch doesnt even acknowledge my existence

i was in england once when the transmission on our rental VW went out, pieces of shit, thats what they are

probly got run over by a chevy
