Hey ER,
Nice color bro! I almost bought a real black VW bug in 2005 from one of my nieces. Anyways, i bought a Dodge Stratos instead...BIG MISTAKE! What a piece a garbage...wish i got the Bug instead. Just thought at the time id look rediculous in that little car and my mates woulda run me out a town in digrace! ;D ;D

Gary, I would worry about looking silly, I used to drive one of these til it got torched by some kids. You know Richard...even though its a Beetle i was suprised at how much room i had in the driver seat. I could almost stretch my legs completely out. Thats why i liked it...and it had cool wheels and a little Porche type spoiler on it.......NAW...i definately woulda got run outa town!!! ;D ;D Gary |
