I own a 1961 VW Bus. I wish it was a Samba, but it's just a camper conversion. By far the best car I've ever owned. I've had it for 18 years, it has been totally reliable, and cheap to maintain. It cost me about $20 to do an oil change. It has air conditioning. And it has been around for 52 years, and will likely be around for another 52 years.
