Nice! My first car was a '68 Bug. Loved that car. What a rocket! lol

I think the last great year was '67 - after that the bumpers changed.

Of course it’s expensive. It’s got swanky ‘ink-stained glass’ doors and champagne coloured handles and is encrusted with gems, for pete’s sake. Oh and it stores 701 litres of food and drink. If you’re wondering what that equates to, I’ll just say it’s more than enough, you greedy thing. I like the mini drinks bar you can access without opening the entire door, and the Twin Cooling System that cools the fridge and freezer independently, so your Ben and Jerry’s (it’s been one of those days) will be perfectly frozen, yet your booze won’t be overly chilled.

'63 bug.
I got it for free from my bro when I needed it for my first post-HS job.
It had Swiss cheese floorboards, so I only had it for a few paychecks from Reader's Digest.

I gave the bug back & looked for a bug or a Volvo that looked like a '40s Ford, but found a '69 2002 with rusted fenders & a smoking engine.
I bought it of course (Gramps helped), and have had BMWs ever since (except for that one Honda during a gas crisis).
YMMV!

Don't kid yourself girl. You've already started and you're way ahead of most of us.

129/82 this morning. That’s actually much lower than what it’s been. Happy with that.

I’m sitting at a trampoline park right now, a bit uncomfortable. Actually more than a bit. The pressure and squeezing sensation is taking my breath away at times. Going to send another message when I get home to the doc.

I usually take mine twice to confirm an “accurate reading”

This was a cuff off Amazon. Not sure how accurate it really is

I think the one that goes around your arm, as opposed to your wrist, is more accurate. Keeps it closer to the level of your heart. That's what I heard, anyway.

Would be nice to have a doc to chime in and tell us what's best for home use.
