1. What is the main reason you purchased the Beetle?
- Like it

2. What beetle do you have?- New Beetle

3. Does your beetle have a name?
- Yes

4. Is your beetle modified?
Yes (very lightly)

6. What is your earliest memory of a VW Beetle?
My parents white 1960-something Beetle. They drove it out from Ohio with 4 kids (I was actually in a baby basonette built into the rear deck lid... try getting away with that nowadays)... though of course I don't remember the trip at all. I just remember it being our family car until Mom & Dad bought a 1980 Honda Accord (yuck!). I remember laying down on the rear seat falling asleep to the chirping sound the engine made as we were driving. And I remember how freakin' cold it was inside until the heater kicked in... reaching down and trying to warm my hands in front of the huge mousehole of a vent on the front of the rear seat.

7. Please describe what you love most about the Beetle
It a blast to drive, and I have a hard time not smiling whenever I'm in it. Plus it does bring back a lot of memories of Mom & Dad's old car.

8. On average how many hours a week would you say you spent in your car?
12-15

9. What is the first question or statement people ask when they get inside the Beetle?
If it's the first time they've ridden in it: "Is the engine still in back?"
If they're regulars: "Can we put the top down?"
