1975 Vokswagon Type 2 T2

It's an effing peace bus- what more do I need to say? PICTURES, DAMMIT.

There she is. WHAT, YOU WANT MORE PHOTOS? Fine. X3 Here are some things about it though. 1975, manual transmission, leaking oil heads (I think they're called?) I didn't get a chance to take photos while I was test driving it, but.. That'll come in due time. Due time.. Oh, it's also got a rust hole or two in the back, and they were asking 2,000 dollars. Not a bad deal, considering the inside's all original, but for a highschooler with 200 dollars in hand wanting to buy it? nah. I can't even borrow the other 1800, lol. Ah well- Alas, my search continues. To heat these old things- even the little Volkswagen bugs too, they suck hot air out from around the engine, which is air-cooled. In other words, if I'm not an idiot- these things have no radiators. Whoa. Well, anyway- it was a fun experience. HERES THE BACK OF IT- YOU CAN SEE THE FKLDJASFL RUST.

Yep. That's it.

Anywho, There I was driving down.. whatever street that is. And I see this peace bus enshrouded in light. I'd love a peace bus.. it'd be almost like getting a Les Paul. Almost. Not that good. Of course they both come in around $2,000. D: Anyway! I had to call, so I did. Talked to a guy. Told me to go up to this guy's house. Went up. He came out, told me the specs and everything, my mom was there. So instead of ME test driving it here this time, he did- since you know. I can't drive stick. AT ALL. NEVER HAVE. Anyway, he told me all abou tit. lol, oops. About it* haha, perverted. Sorry. Anyway! He tells me "I can give you a quick crash course in driving stick if you want" And Being the idiot I am, I say something along the lines of "Sure, how hard could it be?"

Let me put it this way. I FAILED. MISERABLY. FUCK. He pulled over to the side of the road, we slid over to switch seats and I put it in first gear- off we went! To the stop sign! I switch to 2nd without a problem which surprised him, while he's telling me to push the clutch in then shove the stick.. Before we can even take off from the stop sign, I choke down. WHAT. I start it again, off we go! CHOKE DOWN. NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! After a few minutes of this "I'll just let your mom teach you." And we switch seats again. Dammit. It was actually a pretty smooth ride inside, surprisingly- I always imagined these things as being bumpy, rough, hard to steer.. it was pretty pleasent, really- though a little bit loud. OH, BY THE WAY- I DON'T KNOW IF BLOGGER HAS AN E-MAIL BUTTON, BUT IF YOU HAVE QUESTIONS, E-MAIL ME IF THERE IS OR LEAVE A COMMENT. Yeah. Anyways, in this particular one, since the oil heads leaked- it ate up oil a little and you could smell it kind of burning. It's a cheap fix- roughly 50 dollars, even with mechanic labour. But it's not a happy fix. I'm sure with something this old, something else would go wrong- the air filter also needed cleaning in it. SAD FACE.

Oh well, when we went around the block a few times, my mom was waiting for us and we got out, looked t the engine, did everything.. and I got back in the minivan and we rode home- wiser..

Wish I could have bought it- it's still sitting there in the street, price raised to 2,500. I DO wish that it'd sell to some Wyotech student who'll fix it up. Ah well.... Maybe someday. Pretty colour too.

Here are some more pictures. FUCK, IT MAKES ME WANT TO HAVE SEX WITH IT. FUCKINGHELLDAMMIT.

Ah well, my search continues for a useful vehicle to transport me to and from school, get me through the deep snow, and provide me warmth and shelter on those cold, lonely nights where I sit alone at home and cry because I missed the toilet.

Wut. Oh, and I may use this blog a bit for random other stuff other than car driving. Like. Umm. To rant about bad teachers? Yeahhhhhhhhhh.... OR DATING TEACHERS? HMMM?!?!??! No. X3

EDIT: OHSHIT, I FORGOT A PHOTO..

 Taken through a window- sorry, guys. Oh, and I don't remember the mileage on this thing D:
