83-year-old Oscar Almaguer lifts the hood of his 1967 Volkswagen Beetle to show some of the belongings he stores there, including a bucket of water for washing, gasoline and a pair of shoes, in Apodaca on the outskirts of Monterrey September 11, 2013. Almaguer has lived in his car since he and his wife divorced ten years ago. The maintenance that has been done on the now 46-year-old Beetle is basic and few of the car’s parts are original. The engine, which Almaguer starts by short-circuiting two wires under the hood, comes from a more modern VW Sedan. The wheels and seats are from another Volkswagen model and instead of a gear-stick Almaguer uses a plastic bathroom pipe.
