Hi all. I was wondering who on the Org has had a New Beetle the longest? I bought my first one in Aug. 2003.

Let me clarify. I wanted to know how LONG you have been a New Beetle owner, or who bought one first. So you count even if you don't still have it! The other thread wants to know about your current NB.

i bought mine april 25, 2005..

i had an '03 Jetta that i gotten as a hs graduation present (i secretly hated it because it was silver.. looked boring and totally didnt go with my BUBBLY personality).. so on the night of April 24th i left the door passenger open and by the morning the car was dead.. i whined about how i didnt want a car that didnt work because god knows what couldve happened while i was on the road ...(i was commuting to school back then), so me and my mom ended up going to the dealer tp get it checked out by "professionals"... i ended up walking around the dealer and falling in love with Honey B.. i ended up leaving that ugly Jetta behind that day

actually it wasnt ugly.. most people would've loved it.. im just special..

Got Paul on March 4, 1999, I'm pretty sure it was. I know, I know, we're supposed to remember important anniversaries. But I am a guy, you know?

October 1, 1998--surely someone can beat that since the first ones were sold in March 1998. Anyone?
