Rattigan Roger's "Next" confusion is catching

[Bob Denman]

I don’t own the ’64 yet.
I’m deciding between a ’64 ($3500) and a ’70 ($6800) KG.
Both are about the same shape, i.e. needs restored but neither a complete basket case.

I’ll update my will as soon as I decide.:sour:

Please give serious consideration to the '64...

There's something cool, about driving a 50 year-old car! :thumbup:

So by my extremely scientific study about 20% of the population views NEXT=the next time it’s XXXday.
About 80% view THIS = this coming XXXday and NEXT=XXXday coming in the next week.

I have decided to dedicate the rest of my life to either convincing the 80% that they are wrong or restoring a 1964 Karmann Ghia.

I am still deciding.
I’ll have my answer next Tuesday.

I'm part of the 80%, Roger. I think you've gotten the logic right.
Now we can introduce the question of tense. Think of the additional confusion from "Remember last Tuesday when . . .?" Is that the most previous Tuesday or the Tuesday of the previous week? (Just stirring the puddin'.)

When I was in Junior HS, my brother drove us to school in a Karmann Ghia. I was in 7th grade and he was in 9th. (You can get a learners permit at 14yo in Kansas.) We can't remember the year of the car but it must have been from the early 60s. It was a great little car. I can't wait to see your project underway!! :thumbup:

I had a chance to buy a fully re-done Karman Ghia in 1976. I was put off by the $1,700 price. It was a beautiful powder blue color.

Now, I could kick myself. :lecturef_smilie:
