Volkswagens of Peru

So I don’t know if it is true of all of South America but Peru is loaded with old VW’s and it is surprising for me to see them running all over the place. Actually there are overall a lot of old cars running around Peru and it is not uncommon to see 30-40 year old Toyota’s and Datsun’s driving around too. The family I am staying with has an old Datsun pickup truck from 1964.

I see a lot more VW Beatles here than Buses but they both are relatively easy to find walking around. I guess is a testament to how VW used to build cars because they sure don’t build them like this now. I dread having to go back and deal with my 2009 VW CC back home and all the stupid electronic problems that crop up with it on about a weekly basis and the dents some jack ass put in it while parked on the street about two weeks before leaving for my trip. If anybody wants it please let me know.

In the meantime here are some pictures of the VW’s running around Peru, if you don’t care much for cars this won’t interest you much.
