Summary
It is free fun family event. Let's enjoy.
Thank you very much,
Naoki
After Las Vegas trip 2 weeks ago, I was
checking my car's odo meter time to time. For business
mileage I check every day. But I wanted to see 77777 mile
record.
And I've got it. It was yesterday. I avoided freeway and took local load for commute.
The 98 New Beetle was present from my parents for our wedding. After we've stuck on Pismo Beach with dirt bike trailer, the maintenance cost much more than average.
For the cost wise, it does not make sense to keep car. But I consider it is a kind of luxury I could not do before. I talked to one of my friends some time ago. He said it is not luxury, it is love.
The beetle has number plate as "HADA BUG", but we call "BeBe" as nick name. "Be" is from Beetle. Another "Be" is from alarm lock sound.
I talk to "BeBe" that "You are good car. I appreciate you all the time." He says "Thank you.". It might be just reflection, but I don't mind.
