So a paying sponsor puts up a car that you don't like and you feel the need to start a new thread to bitch about it ? How many positives have you brought to this site compared to the sponsor ? I happen to like the Beetle.

I happen to think it's a cool car. They Can't all be supercars !

If I had garage space (and enough spare $$$ [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/rolleyes.gif[/img] ), I think I'd like to have a bug in my little fleet. That rag top is pretty sweet. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/smile.gif[/img]

I don't see a problem with listing any car for sale on here. There have been SUVs, trucks, Cadillacs and other non-supercars listed and no one bitched about them. It may not be a musclecar but it will outrun Charley's Isetta. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/haha.gif[/img]

In the Beetle world it's actually a pretty significant deal. Production left Germany after that. I want a chartreuse micro bus.

But it is a &quot;Super&quot; Beetle!

I think the Isetta is quicker and faster, but I'll run Clill at the reunion for a buck.

Got my first ticket in a Bug, got into my first accident in a bug, performed my first enamel paint job on a bug, learned how to dive a stick in a bug ...................Now the Micro bus opens up a bunch of other firsts.

Let me think: I am a sponsor, who bought it from another sponsor and had it shipped to my shop by another sponsor........ so its all in the family.

My first car was a black 1963 Beetle. I would love to have it back. I've got a picture or 2 of it somewhere. I'll have to dig 'em up. Not many people scoff'd at a VW built and driven by Gene Berg.

Ahhh...the Berg's. Gene and Gary~~~

I, too had a Beetle...not a Super Beetle, though Gary (my brother) had a special edition &quot;La Grande&quot; one.

Gary Berg's girlfriend lived in the same apartment complex that we did. I also remember Gary racing against a 426 Hemi Challenger (that was at the Angelo's cruise in Anaheim) for a couple of hundred bucks...off of Mira Loma in Anaheim.

The race wasn't even close...as Gary had a 2180 that was fully built. It lifted the tires in the first 3 gears. The first clue should have been the shorty wheelie bars [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/smile.gif[/img]

I think that Gene died in the mid 90's ? [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/beers.gif[/img]
