I'd have run out and offered him a ride.
I drive Herbie down through the Castro and up to Twin Peaks (popular highest point in city overlook) and have given a couple strangers quick rides. The ones who can't pull themselves away.

Well, maybe it was an irresistible magic Herbie moment by someone who'd never done such a thing before.

I can confirm how friendly and outgoing Kyle is, and his generosity with sharing Herbie with the public. My attitude is more like, if you love Herbie, then
join our community and get one for yourself!

I always roll-up windows, lock doors & Club My car, even if it's just a quick peet-stop at the 7/11
But also, I'll never touch a stranger's parked car without Their permission...... I'll do "the 360" around it, hands crossed behind my back, bend & peek inside. I might take a few photos with the cell, & if it's a Ciber-caffeƩ client's car, I'll even tell 'em that I plan on posting the photos Here. ![]() ![]()

I club mine but don't lock it. The mentality in cities has changed. It used to be that they'd jimmy the lock, but now it's break the window.
I'd rather they open the door and find nothing to steal than break the window just to find nothing to steal.

Well the repairs have begun. It'll be nice to see him finished, which should be this Saturday.

Junk.
I'd take it to a junkyard and hope they didn't charge me too much to take it. |

Oh you who own a Herbie yourself, how I am disappointed in you. ;)
The deductible through insurance was going to be $300.00 and when I went to the guy who painted him for me he said he'd do it for $150.00. Stupid Insurance!
