Saw this post by Smileybug and thought it worthy of a good beetle day posting.....

Well, the guy's house that we were at, him and his gf both have beetles. Hers is a 2.0 just like mine but he has a Turbo S that I was oogling up. So when we were going out, me and my bf were two of the only people who could drive (everyone pretty much had been drinking) so I volunteered to take people in my car. Well, the guy knew I loved beetles and how much I was oogling the Turbo S. So he said "Well, since we are taking a Beetle, might as well take the Turbo S. And Jess, you wanna drive?" I hesitated but of course I said yes!! I have never driven a turbo before. Only car with significant power was my bf's vr6 that I drove a few times. Needless to say, I fell in love. The power I could feel through my feet, the noise of the engine/turbo....just...AHHHHHH! I was glowing the rest of the night

Just wanted to share my story. Because I now see why everyone loves those cars. And I have fallen in love with them too <3
