Wow, GB. That's terrible.
There should be a test for prospective New Beetle buyers:
1. Do you promise to be nice to other New Beetle owners?
2. Do you promise to wave, or at least smile, at other NB motorists who do the same to you?
3. Do you pledge to do these things, even if you are in a bad mood, ill, or in someone else's vehicle?
If said prospective buyer answers "no" to any of these, they should be escorted to the Ford dealer down the block, and introduced to a Focus.
