i was one of the coweta deputies working the accident at the intersection when this very nice bug drove by headed into town on 34

That would be me. What the heck happened with that accident? The Taurus was up agin the walk pole, didn't see any other car that looked like it was involved.

How long have you been with Coweta? When I had my '66 Bug "OBugga", the deputy that came to my house to check my VIN said he had sold his '67 a few months earlier. I live down Lora Smith, Chesterfield Sub.

saw a nice white early car with white rag top rolling OE everything crossing the loop going east in to the Marietta square about 2:30 pm 12-07-11

there was a blue dodge suv on the other side of the intersection, the taurus turned in front of it and ended up where you saw it. that is a nice bug you have, one of my last bugs was a '64 and i miss that car. dont be suprised if i pull you over one day, just to check out your car ive worked with coweta since may of this year, its the best job ive had hands down. im hoping to have maybellene, my 54, on the road soon, seeing yours the other day really has me itching to get going now. theres a vw resto shop on hwy 54 in sharpsburg ive been wanting to stop by, any idea if they like people to just drop in to talk vw?

I'm itching for you to get it going soon too! That thing looks sweet and I'd love to see it cruising around this way. If you're ever partroling and see a blue and white bug give me a wave (though I'm not in mine as much as Bob is in his). I also may need a Deputy to come check my vin on my bus in a month or so when I get it registered if you want to drop in and talk VW .

im always up for talking VW with anyone infected with the aircooled sickness ive noticed alot of bugs, and even a clean double cab running around coweta county. i hope to meet as many as possible, cause ive never ran across a bad person who drives an old 'wagen.

I've been seeing a pretty, light blue Super at the construction site for Brightmoor Hospice in Griffin. Anybody know who's it?

ummm ted bundy drove a beetle and manson drove a 15 window
let's not go back any farther in history than that

Me and Kelly were in DC a few months ago and went to the crime and punishment museum and got a close up view of that one.

Just saw a early model dub on Dallas nebo rd at 5:30pm. Very clean. Blue/purple color. Looked like an aftermarket hood, shiny chrome bumpers and roof rack. Sounded really good to.

Blurple maybe?

Yep that's it. That's a good lookin dub.

First New Beetle I have seen live. Looked pretty good actually.

The stock ones for it

i was thinking about a set of those for my 08 Jetta!

I just saw one with those hubcaps today! I thought I was seeing things tho.................

Didn't know they were for real.

Was this one in front of a smoke shop in Marietta

Corner of 155 and East Lake in mcdonough. Pretty nice looking (well, I was about 20 feet away) bay window bus for sale. It was green with a white roof. Sitting at an old chevron gas station.

Eric,
Was it this one? I have seen it before as well.

Yep, had the same jolly roger license plate on the front!

Yea I saw that one in person the other day. Took a close look. Paint is OK. Rockers look good. Interior is bare. They used bedliner on the floors which look pretty solid but there were a couple pin holes. Overall it was a decent looking/pretty solid bus. Think it would be a good value at around 4k if it's mechanically sound (running/driving/stopping).

Saw this commercial for A cool cartoon called The Regular Show seen The Bay Window bus and started rewinding and pausing till I caught the Image. Took a few times cuz they go by so fast. Cool though.

brown beetle headed north on highway 19 from zebulon

saw an orange bay bus going down 138 in stockbridge towrds 675 and 75. it had a sticker in the back window that read "Chrysler invented the minivan my ass". lol'd at that one. it was pretty quick, so i'm guessing it had a bigger then stock motor. a piece of the passenger side bottom area under the tail light was cut away (rust repair in progress i assume). white guy driving it, i'd guess in his mid to late 30's.

also saw a really nice looking black bug with a huge whale tail on thurman road.
