I now drive a beautiful little 1974 Fiat 128 2 door coupe sport edition.

I am in love.

I really miss bumble bug, and for those who did not know, I was hit by a honda odyssey about 2 months ago (just under) an my little VW beetle was written off, I have been really depressed about it, it still hurts now, that car was far more than just a car, it was my very first car, my grandparents bought it for me and it was more like a pet that became part of the family than a vehicle. I had many many memories in that car for 5 and a half years. I'm selling the wreck of the car at the moment, and I could barely stand uploading the photos of the damaged beetle, I was a mess in tears looking at it again, even though I had bought a new car. seeing photos of it in it's prime even make me sad. I never thought a car would do this to me, and i'm getting teary eyed again just thinking about her. everyone says cars can be replaced but lives can't, well my fiance and I survived the accident and are very very lucky, the car saved us, I tell you that now. But honestly no car could replace that one, I did want another beetle, but there just wasn't one up to scratch on the market, so i started looking at other cars and thats when I found this fiat, which was a great choice for me, and i'm kind of happy that i didn't get a beetle, it feels less like replacing what I had. Gosh I miss that car though, everyone who knows me knows the car, it became part of who I am.

I hate seeing it's little blinkers hanging off the wreck, it's bonnet all smashed up...
here's my beetle, [link] if you wish to see the extent of the damage and why i'm so upset about it.

I should stop thinking about bumble bug, I'm getting all worked up again.

think about the upside, i have to. I have a great vintage car, quite rare in Australia as well. drives beautifully and is in great condition. I have photos up of the car on myspace: [link] if u want to check out the gallery.

I miss you bumble bug, but it looks like you may live again in another form. A potential buyer of the wreck is wanting to rebuild her into a dune buggy. I really hope that she gets rebuilt. it was a great car, it may just turn into scraps and spares for project car, but if the car could stay as much as a whole it would be great, just for sentimental value. I want it to live on yes it has a life, i swear.

I'm so stupid getting this worked up over a mechanical thing, it's not alive, it was just a human creation, I feel so stupid! so hurt and sad. That bastard who hit me! I hope you got your license suspended, Lachlan you are a complete idiot! who the hell thinks that it's safe to travel around a sharp corner in wet weather over 70 or 80 km/hr and you put your dad in hospital by driving him into your families garage door. I hope you do not get back in a car any time soon. do everyone a favor! and when your in the wrong, don't just sook with your head in your hands bloody give a sincere apology and see if the other driver is alright, u arsehole!

Gosh it's been close to 2 months since the accident and i'm still so bitter. I get scared on the roads from the smallest things now, people are soo inconsiderate. merging without checking blindspots, cutting you off deliberately when changing lanes, just being stupid and careless. I am so over it all, but i love driving and I need a car to get around. I just hate that little things are sending my stomach churning on the roads.
