A whole different bug world
I love my bug, although, the poor thing has been parked outside my house sick, for more than a month. I saw two different mechanics and they said that I had been scammed, that I need to put more money into the bug that the money the bug cost me!!!But then I met a guy from the "Peruvian VW bug club" and I discovered that there is a whole different bug world out there. He recommended me a mechanic.
First of all... there are mechanics specialized in bugs. Other mechanics just freak out when they see a bug; but these don't. Alexander is now my mechanic. He is a bug specialist and he says that my car is ok. “It only has minor problems” he said. Another thing about bugs here is that it is extremely cheap to fix them (if you take them to the specialists), for instance, a piece can cost you as low as less than 2 bucks. No kidding.
Second of all, the club looks like fun. They have meetings, trips and exchange tips about bugs. There was one guy with Alex when he came to see my car and he said that he was about to give up his bug because, as I did, he thought his bug was useless and that he had been scammed. And then he met Alex. Now he loves his bug and doesn’t want to sell it.
I may not want to sell mine either after Alex finishes fixing it. And I may join the Peruvian VW bug club with my green 1971 VW bug!!!!

God! Thats the same year I've been born and the same color of my hair!
Now you can take your bug to the bug club and find a boyfriend for her. Avoid white bugs; white bugs cant jump.
Luchin, my bug is a boy.
Like boats are female for guys in English. For me, my bug, is my baby boy. Feminist baby boy, I must say.
His name (thanks to Lucho and Pepi) is "el avispon verde"!!!!!!!!!!
...but your imaginary friend is a girl, ¿right?
the club sounds like fun. i love the bug!
