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.
