The title of this post kind of represents my feelings on trying to sell my beloved Beetle. In short, it's not going too well ... only one call, but it was a promising call -- the guy was eager, liked the features (including that it's a standard), his fiancée already had a red Beetle, and he scheduled a visit for later that afternoon.
Then he called back -- could he reschedule for tomorrow afternoon? He wanted to bring his fiancée. Fine, we said, no problem, all the while thinking this one was in the bag ... if he's bringing his wife-to-be, this could only be a good thing.
Later that evening his fiancée called; apparently it was (1) too far out of their budget, and (2) not exactly a good idea to have two Beetles in the family.
Damn women. Always fucking things up for us guys. :)

So this young man has been one of my main inspirations with the camera lately. In case he ever tells you otherwise, his is not exactly the roughest life.
