My New (old) Foxy
Posted by hatim
It is loved by some and loathed by a few, but mostly it goes unnoticed until you are related to it some how. My current mode of transportation is a 1970 Volkswagen aka Foxy (in Pakistan) , aka Daddu Car (car shaped like a toad). Needless to say the thing drives good considering that its almost 35 years old and has survived pakistani roads (drivers?) .
It is not the ideal thing to drive during the rain or during a very dark night. But at least I am able to get to my job on my own. Since my new job is not in a very posh area I don't feel the chronic attacks I was afraid of If I were to drive this thing in rush hour in Islamabad proper. I am not sure why I felt that way. Perhaps the un coolness I have attached to this vehicle when growing up has some thing to do with it. Cool or not, this still drives me back and forth and in the end this is all what matters
