I think I just realized why Harry Dresden has so much trouble with his car.

The Blue Beetle, from Storm Front. Note the awesome spray-on patina.
Note: Not my cap.
You'll note, peoples, that the Blue Beetle is what looks to be a Super Beetle.
Somehow, when I'm reading the books, I always picture Harry driving something older. An oval window or the like. Mainly because he's really anti-tech, and the Super Beetles are probably the most complex of the Bugs ever produced. Well, with the exception of the Mexican-made Beetles, which had much more modern features in them by the late 1990s. Granted, this could be a monetary choice -- parts for older Bugs can be hard to come by -- but I'm guessing that what he spent on the occasional part, he'd save on fewer repairs in the long run.
...why the hell am I seriously trying to figure out the logical lulz of a fictional wizard?
