Default New to us 2005

New to us 2005 green GLS, TDI with DSG transmission. It is a certified used car with 47,000 miles purchased at the local VW dealer.

My wife has always wanted a Beetle and I have been lusting over the mileage the TDIs get, so when we came upon this we could not resist. The old 1993 Explorer was getting scary to drive and it was time to get rid of it.

If and when the sun ever comes out again, (we live in western Washington State) I’ll take some better pictures. Don’t expect any great mods on this, we are both close to retirement age and like just as is. I did order a TDI badge to put on the back, but not much else will get done.

We have always owned either Ford’s or Chevy’s so this is our first foreign/German car. My wife keeps asking me: Why did we wait so long buy this? I have no good answer. We almost bought a 06 NB TDI in 2007, but the kid was still in college and we really didn’t need a new car and payment then.

Oh, as for a name, Little Green Apple, aka LGA is in the lead, but nothing final, yet.
Foxy is the name. LGA lost out.
