I believe that home-made vert is one of those early kits that were produced before VW rolled them off the assembly line. I have an old copy of VW Power magazine that talked about it.

We always park next to NB's if they're in the lot, even if it means having to walk farther thru the lot to the store

I always LOVE trying to park next to other NB's but sometimes they are surronded by other cars or in a gated area

Evilina likes the company of other Beetles but sometimes she's stuck hanging out with an XBox or honda all day when I am at work.

My gf made fun of me for parking next to a yellow Beetle at the Shoprite.
I know she just did it to bust my chops, but still. It's just what we do!

I found the best parking spot today at Target. Right between a mellow yellow and a reflex yellow. A sunflower yellow would've completed the yellow NB lineup.

There's no apostrophe before an 's' when you're talking about the plural version of a word. "I took some neat photo's!" is NOT correct.

Wow! That's amazing!! And you had your camera too! I hate it when another car pulls in beside a NB and takes my spot.

I have had my daisybug for about 6 weeks and had someone park next to me for the first time today. I was at "Chadstone" - the largest shopping centre in the southern hemisphere (Melbourne Australia), and returned to find a blue beetle parked next to mine. Very cute - got a buzz out of it!

Oohh.. a satalite blue!

I try to park next to new beetles, other Vw's or Audi's. BUT, I only park next to them if they look well kept. I am picky about where I park.
