| I love the old Beetles!! They are super cool! Also, the Karmann Ghia! I don't show or restore but sure appreciate an old classic car!

| Yep, my son just restored an old beetle and showed it at the local VW club show. Got best interior. Runs good, some rough exterior areas but is all original.

I drive a 2001 VW Jetta VR6. Came to me straight from the factory in 2000 and we have kept it in pristine condition, except for the dog hair on the seats. Wouldn't dare bring it to a show because I would be laughed at for not having it lowered on the wheels. Before that, I had a Rabbit convertible. A tow truck dropped it and killed it. Dad had a '66 Beetle. We regret that we had to let it go. Would love to have another.
