1963 Karmann Ghia when I was 18. The gas pedal would stick while driving it and I would have to keep tapping it in order to un-stick it. While showing the car to my co-workers, I got in and started it. The pedal immediately got stuck and I let off the clutch causing the car to jump the curb and smash in to the wall. Then a couple of months later while parked in my parents’ driveway, someone rear ended it. I drove around with it in this condition for a while until one night while cruising (yes, cruising) I saw a friend who had started doing auto body and offered to repair it very cheap. He did a magnificent job and I drove it around for a while more until one day while in the twisties and listing to “Hey You” by the Scorpions, I went into a turn a little too hot, slid over to the next lane and ended up hitting the side of a mountain. Retrieved the battery which was resting about 5 feet up the hill, pulled the fender far enough away from the tire so that it wouldn’t rub and drove it home. Had it parked in front of parents’ house again, but this time with a For Sale sign on it. Got a call from a girl with a very familiar name and voice who came down to see it, only to find out that she was my girlfriend from when I was like 13. She took the car, I took the cash and I never saw her or the car again. I still think about her…..the car that is.
