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 everything in it. I once even towed a 70s-era Dodge Duster with it. Up a hill. I love it. The rear-engine oversteer is fun once you get used to it, and I love air-cooling. 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. |

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. |

It's Not A Car, It's A Volkswagen Beetle — Amazing ride. Riding pleasure is maximum. Superb handling and even without new safety measurements the safety in the cabin is impressive. Two times rammed and slashed by idiotic road hogs here but still, I'm free of even scratches and Beetle is still low flying. Thanks Ferdinand Porsche for the marvelous design.
Pros:
Great cornering Cons: No stock A/C (I don't care) |

Most Bitchin Car Ever — This car was the best car i have ever owned. I plan on buying another one and building it up into a Baja Bug. But it was the most fun with a 1600cc motor, with a 4 speed manual trany. she was yellow and was in really good shape for its age. Pros: Chicks loved it, funnest damn car ever, got around great in the snow, and was awsome to just cruse around in durring the spring and summer Cons: Scrapping the inside of the windshield with a credit card because there was no defrost, and no radio... |

A Fun Little Car To Play In! By sunflowergal
