I love to park next to other Beetles, esp. other yellow ones like mine. I always tell my kids they are Woodstocks brothers or sisters. I do not get many waves, but I wave.
My son gets alot more attention in HIS beetle, because it is Vortex Blue, many people ask him about the odd color. He is a single 20 year old guy, who says girls are quite attracted to his car. He deflects guys who make fun of him by pointing out how fast the car is....... (1.8 Turbo is SO much faster, I have driven both)
