Oh my gosh Michelle. I remember you little yellow Bug. Remember when I would skip classes and come to Borah, then we would cut together.
You were such a cutie! Gas was under $1 when I started driving in 1997, so that may be a bit high.. Other than that, that's really cool!
That was a fun walk down memory lane! I had a little blue bug back then and loved it. Instead of going to my reunion I just went to dinner with 2 of my old buddies. It isn't quite so overwhelming that way.
