1969 VW beetle. How we bought it.












I was cruising the internet when I spotted an advertisement in craigslist.com that was just posted 45 minutes earlier for a 1969 VW bug being sold for a cheap price. I immediately called my buddy Ramiro and we drove to the city of Stanton.

The bug had been sitting inside a storage for 12 years. The owner said the bug ran before he stored it 12 years ago.

While I was contemplating for the right strategy to negotiate the price, the owner offered a good price and also told us he will deliver the bug to my house. I almost choked when Ramiro excitedly said, "We'll buy it!" I told Ramiro, "Man, you're suppose to coordinate with me before blurting out something". He just said, "The price is right, bro. Let's go for it". After shaking the hands of the owner, I wanted to strangle Ramiro.

Thanks to Ramiro, we are now the proud owners of a 69 bug. We will quickly restore and resell it.

God Help Us!
