Right you are, Ms. Dnyed. I'm a guy, silver/gray/concrete/gravel/sheet metal are all silver to me .

There were two NB's on the other side too, but there was a really nasty looking honda in the middle, and I just wanted to preserve what the experts call "continuity". My GF is picking out crap for the new house, and the "continuity" issue has been paramount. So I'm slightly domesticated, what of it?!?!?

I had to make an unexpected trip to Waukesha, Wi. this week for some onsite support of one of our customers.

Look what I found in the lot of the hotel. Sluggo had a bud to talk to overnight.

When my mom and I left Old Navy earlier this evening, I freaked out because I noticed Daisy's grill was cracked!!! How did that happen? I was checking it out and about to unlock the car when my mom says "That's not your car!" Hehe. Another blue NB had parked there while we were in the store. I was parked a few rows back! Anyway, we both got a good laugh out of that one. (and a big sigh of relief from me!!)

OK i have a story but it aint about parking. OK so i was driving to my girlfriends place and i was following a red nb and i was following it for a while and looked in my rear view mirror and ther was a cyber green one right behind me and i looked back to the road ahead of me and there were two more together goin the opposing lane so it was like i was being surrounded by new beetles it was kinda wierd i have never seen so many nbs together driving unless they are all together. but this was just a random happining. this was one of thos days i had a camera phone!!!

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.

I went to the store and when I came out Killer was sandwiched between two yellow NB's. Sadly I did not have a camera.

There is a Mini at school that usually parks by me. I have never met the driver, but I guess we have our own 'funny little car' club thing going on

I went to lunch at a Quiznos yesterday and parked Elwood next to a red 98 NB. Further down was a Luna Green NB.

The other day I parked at starbucks to get coffee and when I came out there was a silver NB parked right next to me. The cars were out of the way of the rest and there were alot of spaces but NB/C's can always park next to me.

There's a silver one that I've now parked next to twice at the CVS store by my house. After seeing it a 2nd time I figured it belongs to someone working there. So if I see it now I try to park next to it for fun. It looks just like mine except different wheels.

If that was me, I could so easily explain that, "But Blake, I was so excited to snap the shot, I jumped out of my bug while it was still moving!"
But that'd be me, Ms.NewBeetle-Obsessed, bugging innocent ppl with NB talk all the time. BTW, today I accosted an older guy at the gas pump, he had a nice yellow Turbo (and his 20-something son in the passenger's seat wasn't hard to look at either)

When I still lived in Indianapolis, the building that I lived in had me and two other beetles (one white and one silver - I'm a plat. grey).

We liked to play the "try to park in descending colour order" game yet it was really hard because it was a HUGE parking lot that was ALWAYS full...

we did achieve it a few times though.

Talking Crawling with Bugs

Saturdays in my town seem to be crawling with Bugs, without a doubt I usually count 15+ NB and yesterday was no exception, first at the bowling alley, then while at Good Will, I mean what are the odds? By chance,does anyone know the name of the color of the lighter blue NB? I thought it was a nice match next to Lil' Blue .I have to say it was a very good Beetle Day in deed!

That would be the best color they've come out with yet-Vortex Blue
I agree, they looked great together!
