When Eric and I were stationed in Vicenza, Italy, we were first introduced to the hooptie. Actually, all of you know how funny Eric is and the car was a Fiat Ritmo, but Eric lovingly called it our Shitmo!
The next time we were in Germany, he bought a red Lancia. It got him back and forth for almost two plus years before we left, however the computer did blow up and we ended up paying someone to get rid of it!
The last time we were in Germany we bought a 1988 Volkswagon Gulf, only it was dark blue, the interior ceiling was ducked taped and it was really tore up and Nicky called it the Junkmo. An update, Nicky informed me that his preferred name for it was......the BOLTSWAGON, lol!
The thing with these cars is that they basically have the smallest, most NON complex engine ever. Nothing really ever goes wrong with them mechanically. Eric says they have lawn mower engines, lol! So while we will use the Tahoe for traveling Europe, the hooptie will be its trusty side kick, saving us gas and allowing us to pull up on the curb and park downtown.
This time we SCORED, $1700.00 talked down from $2200.00, owned by an old German guy, who took stellar care of it and only 30,000 miles. Isn't that hilarious, that there are cars this old with this few miles on it!!
So, even though this car is older than Zachary, it really doesn't look that bad does it? Welcome to the family Red:)
