I don't want bells and whistles, (meaning all the things that will constantly break and need to be fixed.)

Why I ever sold my 1973 Super Beetle, I will never know. I curse the day I did it. To this day, no other car of mine has ever beat the gas mileage I got with that Bug. Standard transmission, of course.
