I was really attached to my 99 Beetle with 339,000 miles on the odometer and driving it 125 miles a day round trip for 10 years to work without any AC, but have got to say my used Mini Cooper that will do 150 MPH and is a rolling sound machine with 12 Harman Kardon Speakers and is ice cold in the summer was a nice upgrade!
I was thinking of keeping it just to try and hit 500k miles but the loose manual shifting linking was starting to take a toll on the tendons in my right arm. Wish had some pictures of the interior, the panels rotted and I replace them with some thin plywood covered in multi colored blankets from Mexico that were purchased from a truck stop in SE Georgia for $10. The opening and locking mechanisms still worked but had to add brass cabinet pulls to close the doors from the inside etc. -;0)
