My car in college back in the late 70’s was a ’68 Bug that was barely able to make it over the hills on RT322 in State College in Pa. It only passed inspection with the invention of metal duct tape. I miss that car even though I’ve had a succession of muscle cars since then.

Thanks. I hate getting my hopes up for something because a review raves about just to find out is not nearly as awesome.
As a aircooled VW enthusiast, I 100% support your analogy! Like many GenXers, it was my first car. My parents had VWs up until they went H2O. I’ve had muscle cars, sports cars, but I always go back to the them. Ducky, the overlanding bus

It *sometimes* gets the attention of product devs who use it as feedback for improvements. I have a bunch of LoRa dev boards. The Heltec V3 is the VW Beetle of LoRa boards and one that I suggest people start from.
