So after my unfortunate accident, I went home on a search for a new ride and, as far as I'm concerned, I struck gold. The green-on-cream color scheme has always been a closet favorite of mine, and once we saw the pristine condition she was in, we jumped on it.
Like the title says, I got the 2.0L engine again. I drove a few VWs with the turbo and the TDI, but none in as nice a condition as this one.
She's got 15" Avus wheels, a sunroof, and the single-DIN monsoon audio system (8 speakers!). With 75k miles on the clock, she drives like she's brand new.
(First shot i took of my beetle was in our carport, and I saw no reason to break tradition.)
