I've got one and a half.
Biggest problem right now is that I want to reinstall the 5-panel Wink mirror in the Superbeetle, and I can't find the screws. Internet says there're a B4.2x16, my parts connection says the official VW parts microfiche says the same thing.
Unobtanium. I'm thinking Pop rivets.

And even the reproductions, at least the ones with a decent quality, are quite expensive nowadays. |

Mom had me disconnect the doorbell and then lost the screws. I brought it to Ace and said "Mom has a screw loose."
The guy knew just what I meant!

"Good news, a payment of $3,362.77 was issued to XIST..."
"...for your auto claim and will be available within 5 to 7 business days."
Not bad for a car that cost me $3,200 11 months ago--and I am still driving.

Are you letting it go or will you keep it running indefinitely?

Honestly, I want an accident-free Camry, so if I ever mostly catch up with projects I will drive down and try to find another $3,200 Camry and try to see what I can get for mine.

Accident free just means it hurts more when the inevitable occurs.

Imagine how much it would hurt if that new Camry hybrid Redneck is buying me gets in 2 accidents in 1 year!
