| “Favorite Can Next To A Convertible Bug” Just bought it - love it!
Pros —
Air-cooled classic. Economical, fun to drive, nostalgic.
Cons —
Needs a little work, though not much. Need to convert it to more of a stock classic and get rid of alterations made. Kind of like my 1927 Tudor.

| “Immaculate” fun to drive but hard to brake!! Its a convertable, so its great to drive on beautiful days. Not so much on rainy days (it leaks).
Pros —
people stare at u on the road, fun to drive
Cons —
slow, not much hp, leaks in rain

| “Must Have.” Also known as the "Death Mobile," our VW bug is a great car. It has survived the flood of '99, numerous dead batteries, and cross country trips and is still running fine. Makes a lot of noise and stink, but it still runs like a dream. Nothing has been replaced, and the only work that needs to be done is for the interior and a new paint job.
Pros —
Runs FOREVER, looks great, still works.
Cons —
Smell.

| “It's A Beetle. An Icon. Who Doesn't Know Them?”
I've had this car since I was 18, my third bug. I've driven this all over the place, done
Pros —
Simple, tough, easy to work on, full of charm.
Cons —
Usual 35-year old car issues. Primitive to modern eyes, but I like that.
|
| “Fun” Neat car, decent gas mileage, lots of character. Easy to fix.
Pros —
CHEAP parts
Cons —
Needs those parts frequently....

| “The Green Machine!” I loved my Bug. It was a Super Beetle, and not just a Beetle. You can tell by the windshields. The Super Beetle has a curved front glass, whereas the Beetle's is flat. Mine was exactly this color...only add a couple of rust and primer spots. :)
Pros —
It was a very fun car...
Cons —
...but it was so old. I think the floor was about to rust out. There was always water in the oil. The front windshield frosted on the inside in the cold weather. The door handles didn't work, so I used the little side windows to get in. And, last but certainly not least...it left me stranded more than once. It just needed more love than I could afford to give it at the time.
