I always liked them. And now I'm thinking one may be fun to have...

I love them all chromey and dressed with the roof racks and light shrouds...











(ignore the camberfail in this pic)

And then I like them all ratted out and rat rodded...












So school me in old beetles. What to look for? What to avoid? How to make them have heat? How to make em quick?

What kind of gas mileage do they get? What's the difference between a beetle and a super beetle?

Just thinking out loud here... (gets a little dicey here.... )











(wait... do you see what I see???)









Flame suit on.

Porsche motor

Ok Justin

If you do it....Rat bug

1st pictured Rat Rod...or Finalit

Otherwise....major miss-fit (proper spelling)

But you cant run open wheels can you?

Guess its Finalit or nothing.

I'm actually not really a fan of the open wheels on those, unless you go full out hot rod, which I don't plan to do.

But a nice satin two tone green with the luggage racks, red wheels with moons, wide whites, lowered a few inches with a stinger pipe would be pretty badass....

Buddy of mine had an all original paint 67? I think it was. Baby blue, faded, just real OG. Roof racks, lowered, staggered 15s, and a mini "gangsta visor" like the 18wheelers have. When he went to the VW shows it was like friggin Paparrazi was everywhere, people would run over to take pics lol. car was so badass. I always liked them. He hydroplaned his and is rebuilding..

Bored with the Monte already?

According to superbeetles.com, stock fuel economy was 25 mpg carbureted (pre-1975), 33 mpg fuel injected.

More yes... lol.
















(how can you NOT like that pic???)











I'm actually enjoying surfing the net for these pics...

Lol Bill. Those are some sexy ladies.

Still not a fan of the dubs tho.

They are cool and everything. Great aftermarket support and following.

Just not my thing.

I have enough friends with dubs to supplement my void of one.

Wow. This one is sweet!


And check out the pink lol






Car stuck girls? Really? Ok.










Wow.





















Not a fan of the convertibles... But, damn.

You got some weird ass taste I cars dude.

I am subscribing to VWtrends magazine again.

I had a baja bug when I was in California. But it was nothing like these. Keep them coming..

I was gonna say..if you had tried to sell the miata on us with a bunch of chick pics like this it might have gone a little smoother

A couple more? Or am I done???
























lol!


























Enough said...

I need a cigarette.

Way to go, I was hoping someone would pick up on that...

And here's some fail to introduce into this thread... Guess what the most common, most sensicle engine swap is???? Wait for it... Subaru. LOL!

I can see that plate now... FAILBUG

So, do you want to actually know about beetles or just post up pics? I'm fine with either, but I don't want to take the time to school you if it's just an evening fad

I am a super fan, to say the least.

Scope out Volksrods.com to some true inspiration.

Nice. My Baja bug was this color

Ok, I had a 69, bone stock, nearly mint, as my first car, great memories.

Super beetle has rounded windshield, big turn signals, and macpherson struts, more modern, handle better. However, purists will call you crazy, a real bug has a flat windshield.

What else do you need to know? I was always a huge fan of the volksrods and cal look cars. Never a fan of the chrome... Perhaps why I own an Impala...

Further proof that GTA wheels DO look good on EVERYTHING!!!!!

They have to post a million chicks with the cars. The cars are so ugly no one would just take a picture of just the car for christ sake.

But for reference, neighbor had like 15 of the them, one did a massive wheely. And we pushed one down the road with a plow to get it home one night in the snow. VW engines don't like plow cutting edges pounding on them, or when they catch fire, pretty colors though.

My brothers used to share driving duties of a 67 bug stock car. They raced it from 76-82 at Seekonk speedway. The first one was white #53, and the second one was orange and black #2. They called it the "Iron Mistress" and "Iron Mistress 2".

What's a fair price for a "starter" bug? Is that one that Billy linked a good buy at like $2500? Just curious. He says it's plenty peppy and will do 90 on the highway...

I love them
