Saving Charlotte: Fumbling Across America with a Reluctant VW

Saving Charlotte: Fumbling Across America with a Reluctant VW Bus

â€œWe drove away in an unlicensed car that we did not legally own, complete with a bashed in front end, a badly cracked windshield, and a headlight propped in with duct tape, a tree branch and a piece of foam found lying on the ground. It was not an encouraging way to start our 3,000 mile journey!â€
Ever dream of buying a one-way airline ticket to purchase a sight-unseen, salvage titled automobile and drive it home 3,000 miles? Join Kat and Ned as they â€œrescueâ€ Charlotte, an unlicensed, reluctant, but endearing VW Syncro bus who drags her wheels at first, but eventually really gets rolling. Kat and Ned had a vision of building up a Syncro into a cool, capable overland adventure vehicle, dreaming of the advantages of â€œbus living.â€ But would the dream turn into a nightmare?
The adventures and mis-adventures are hilarious, turning a four day drive from Connecticut to Nevada into a two week escapade of mysterious mechanical issues, cop-dodging, heat waves, torrential thunderstorms, missing credit cards, and Mississippi mud baths.
Canâ€™t get out of Hartfordâ€¦Canâ€™t get out of Buffaloâ€¦Canâ€™t get out of Elkhartâ€¦you canâ€™t imagine what can go wrong on a trip like this! Charlotte balks, spits, sputters and lurches but never stalls, while Kat and Ned persevere, finding that, in spite of her VW idiosyncrasies, Charlotte has a truly endearing soul. They also find that their dream of â€œbus livingâ€ has become an addictive reality.
â€œOnly in a VW Bus would somebody attempt something like thisâ€¦and get away with it! What a great story! A must-read not only for the VW Bus crowdâ€”but for the wanna-beâ€™s too!â€
