It belonged to a customer at a independent VW shop I worked at in the '70s, she was drop dead gorgeous in hip hugging bell-bottoms and tube-top.It was great fun to leave traffic behind instead of the VW Bus norm.
Later a ride in a '70 914-6 with a 2.7 in it was memorable, and finally a '70 Dodge Challenger 440 six-pack automatic with aftermarket pistons and cam could spin its tires at freeway speeds.
The last really impressive car I got to drive was a '95 Porsche 911 and I remember feeling stunned at how nice it was to drive compared to the Mazda's I was working on at the time.
The dealership had purchased the car at auction and sent one of their detailers to drive it back. He was on 280 between San Francisco and San Jose when he got a flat tire.
It was flat-bedded back and I got to check it out. A 7/16 x 2 1/2" bolt had punctured a rear tire, and the rim then dented the edge of the brake rotor.
I asked the detailer how fast was he going and he said "I'm not saying".
