HERMAN, the vw bus

I've got a list of demands......written on the palm of my hand...err..tire.

About Me

I am just an old volkswagen bus, I probably should have been sent to the scrap heap a long time ago but someone seems to think I am worthwhile and is trying to breath new life into me. I have an engine out of a porsche 914, and I enjoy speed, however I do have a little trouble maintaining any amount of it on long hills, but I do get it back on the downside so it is all good, right now I am bright orange, but I think I would enjoy being matte black with red accents, who knows. I enjoy camping, I have a full size bed, and two cots, I can sleep two adults and three children comfortably, oh yea, I have been thinking about adding a wet shot of NO2, cause I enjoy burning unsuspecting teenagers of the line at red lights. But don't hold it against me because I am old, and I have to take small pleasures where I can find 'em. and if you havn't noticed I am a big fan of run on sentences.
You Belong in 1960
If you scored...
1950 - 1959: You're fun loving, romantic, and more than a little innocent. See you at the drive in!
1960 - 1969: You are a free spirit with a huge heart. Love, peace, and happiness rule - oh, and drugs too.
1970 - 1979: Bold and brash, you take life by the horns. Whether you're partying or protesting, you give it your all!
1980 - 1989: Wild, over the top, and just a little bit cheesy. You're colorful at night - and successful during the day.
1990 - 1999: With you anything goes! You're grunge one day, ghetto fabulous the next. It's all good! What Year Do You Belong In?

Like I could turn the pages? Which Tarot Card Are You?
You are the Universe card, sometimes called the World card. The Universe is the complete, perfect whole. The spiritual path has come to an end and enlightenment is reached. Events have reached completion. The different facets of your life are well-integrated and harmoniously balanced. This is an ideal state in which to rest and feel the true state of your vibrant physical being. Your creative potential is maximized and you have achieved goals that you have set for yourself in the past. After enjoying the pleasure of this state, a new cycle can begin with new challenges and triumphs that will keep you feeling alive and keep building on the foundations you have planted thus far.

Heroes:

Herbie, of course! But if you would like to be my hero all you have to do is raise your right hand and repeat after me_I am a Volkswagen owner and solomly swear to: Make sure that valves are adjusted by myself each and every 3000 miles or 3 months whichever comes first. Change the oil, myself, every 3000 miles or every 3 months whichever comes first. I will occasionally thumb my nose at the various 'quickie' oil/lube places when I pass them by. Never lug or race the engine on uphills or downhills. Lay awake at night thinking about what that noise was when I drove home from work today. Always include something about VWs in almost every conversation with my SO [Significant Other]. Take the ribbing, cussing and screaming that my SO gives me for the previously mentioned act. For at least 30 minutes a week I will lay on my back underneath my VW talking to it and myself and con- template future maintenance and modification for it. Make sure that my greasy garage cloths are kept separate from the rest of the laundary. Have at least 3 manuals devoted to my VWs model year. Keep my greasy 'mitts' off of my SO's clean towels. Be damn sure to wear my 'car working' clothes and not my good ones when I proceed to do any work on my car. I will keep a set of 'car working' clothes or coveralls in my VW at all times for emergency repair work. I will keep a tube or tub of hand cleaner in my VW at all times. That the top ten items on my Christmas/Birthday/Anniversay list are VW related. Make sure that any gifts I buy my SO are not VW related. At least 3 of my shirts and hats have some kind of VW emblem on them. I know all of the VW FLAPS [Friendly Local Auto Parts Store] in town and have memorized all of their phone numbers. Own a torque wrench and understand how to use it. Keep a record book of my VWs maintenance history. Show that record book to everyone that comes over as if were pictures of a brand new baby. Explain to my SO that my VW is my baby. Learn to recite in your head your VWs entire maintenance schedule so you can do it while brushing your teeth. Know that there is no such thing as 'borrowing oil'. Know exactly how many miles you have left to drive before you run out of gas. Have all the necessary parts and tools ready for when you break down. Know all the phone numbers you need to call if you can't fix it. Learn how to sleep in my VW. Learn how to push my VW. Learn how to drive my VW with a broken clutch cable. Learn to keep a spare clutch cable in my VW. Make sure the top 5 numbers on all my phone lists are VW related. My desk at work has VW related items on it. Make sure that when anyone at my work has a problem with their VW, I am the first person they call. Be the only one to add or take any fluids to or from my VW. And finally, understand that I am a VW nut and not everyone can comprehend this... ability... and cannot understand why I eat, drink, breath, stink and sleep Volkswagens. I can only accept that I do and therefore, will act and behave accordingly... So (please) help me [insert your deity here]. (You may now lower your right hand :)~special thanks to man with a mission for letting me repost the volkswagen pledge~I love you man~vw bus
