Wow that bug is moving around fast! I got a story for you concerning that vdub and my trip to Anniston AL to get it:-) I'll tell you about it a BAP if I see you.

Some of you have seen it before. It has a few issues but overall a good car a think. Here is a picture I think Callahan took at a cruise in

Must be the amber lights that attracted you :-)

Thanks Digger! I'm going to try Smile

I have to say I didn't realize how much I missed driving a Bug. Before the Ghia was the 74 Super and that wasn't really the same. It's nice driving a early Bug again Cool

Maybe this one will have the gas mileage you have been looking for ...... Smile

funny thing is....that is a VW! They own Lambo now!! and at the rate of inflation (peoples egos,not prices)...not as many Dubs as you'd think! Shocked

Let's see, the Lamborghini Gallardo LP 560-4 has base price of US$205,000, the average Beetle for sale on Craigslist is about $2K, so 102.5 Beetles

by Ndru959 Mon May 16, 2011 3:04 am

Thats a Valentino too so add 10 more beetles Very Happy

I think you just created a new economy. So whats the U.S. deficit in beetles ?
