Not to whore it up toooo much here, but I can't resist...here are just a few pics from the other night:
I never really thought I'd be interested in a poor man's Audi, much less a Beetle; I've always thought VWs were kind of quirky cars for hipsters (and perhaps they still are) but I'm really loving this car, probably as much if not more than the wife. I'm secretly really jealous, and kind of think I might want a Turbo model for myself if the wife approves of me copying her, lol. It's probably one of the top 5 nicest interiors I've seen, because of the red dash, though the Turbo wouldn't have that (carbon fiber dash on all turbos). This car handles surprisingly well and with 170 hp five banger, it's not too slow for it's purpose, it has plenty adequate power to get around town and get out of its own way. Cruising at 70 is effortless, to the point it's hard not to speed, which I certainly wasn't expecting.
Around here there aren't many of these on the road yet, so we get lots of looks driving it around town.
