After having to deal with seeing no classics for months now in the wake of winter, I starting to forget what an old car looked like. But then I had a pleasant surprise. I was cruising around town, when a green Volkswagen Beetle turned the corner behind me, puttering along at a good pace. I was very happy to see some sort of classic, and it followed me for about a quarter mile before turning down a dead-end street. I guess that it was just cruising with no aim, I am about 99% sure there is no classic on that street or the surrounding neighborhood (though once I did see a Triumph) because I cruise by there often.
The one thing I wasn't quite sure about though, was that it was driving in the Midwestern snow and probably has some rust hidden under there. That's why there's no classics in the winter, we all don't want our cars rusting to hulks! But I was still happy to see a classic, even if it'll need restoring soon (for those of you down South, yes, that's how much snow and damp it is in Midwest winters). This is not my photo, but basically is the same car. this is from www.carandclassic.co.uk
