That's a tough one.
You work for years to restore something so you can drive it, then after a few you get tired of it and want to dump it. You and I had similar pasts. We both owned one years ago, and remembered how much fun it was, so you wanted to do it all over again. The problem, and frustration, is keeping them running. I'd like to get rid of mine just so I don't have to fix it when it breaks, or spend months searching for that part I don't have stashed in the basement. I counted the days I drove mine last year, and I didn't even get to 10...so, 355 days locked in a storage garage, but at least it won't break just sitting.
I'd love to get rid of mine, but you know what? If I get another bug to drive one ten years from now, where in the hell will I find one? They ain't that easy to come by now, and it ain't gonna get any better. Plus, I don't think I have the time or energy to restore another, as I'm finding all kinds of excuses not to finish the one in the garage.
