When Paige came home from her mission, I knew she would need a car. There is a guy here in Bozeman that cuts my hair by the name of John Lane. He had this car for many years and drove it to work, daily. I asked him if he wanted to sell it, he told me he hadn't thought about it, but I convinced him I needed it for my daughter.
He sold it to me and it was just right for Paige. She loved it, and I loved seeing her drive it. It was a Playboy special edition with a little Playboy "Bunny" on the gas cap cover. She would leave it parked by the Institute while she was at school and there were some of the visitors there that were somewhat "offended" with the Bunny.
Paige was not the least bothered by their disgust, it made her just a bit more rebellious, if Paige could actually be rebellious. She bought a bike rack for it and you could see her driving around the Gallatin Valley with the "Bunga Bug" and her bike on top. I love this picture, I will always remember her in that car, without a care in the world.
does anyone know where that car is now?
ReplyDeletei have a lot of fond memories of that bug!!! i think i was a junior in high school and paige would let me drive it to school now and again. on those occasions when i did get to drive it, i was the coolest kid in school.
