Vent: my buddy bet me $50 I couldn't daily drive a 1972 Beetle for a month, and I'm on week 3
So about three weeks ago my buddy Dave bet me 50 bucks I couldn't use my 1972 Beetle as my only car for a full month. I said easy money, it's air cooled and simple, what could go wrong. Week one was fine until the generator died on I-35 outside Waco and I coasted into a gas station with no headlights. Week two the heater boxes started smelling like burning oil so now I crack a window even when it's 40 degrees. Yesterday it took me four tries to start it cold and a guy at the parts counter told me I just need to 'learn the choke dance.' I'm too stubborn to quit now but I'm down to 9 days left, has anyone else been roped into one of these dumb bets?
