You do know about the switch right? feel for a rocker switch down below the steering wheel kind of near your feet.

I do it all the time..

My 99 1.8t, 03 color concept 1.8t, and the neighbor right across the street just bought a silver '07. I wonder if we influenced them.

My Panzer gets some love from a 99 Blue TDI Beetle in the parking lot of the Circuit City I work at. fact, it gets some love from a VW/Audi line we've formed. I'll dig up the picture here soon.

Look in the classified, at the top is Omars (sixspeed) thread. You can see all the details there. He is a good guy, you can trust Omar. He sets us all up.

I parked next to a bug at work last week and to my surprise, the driver was still in her bug. She looked at me like I was a crazy lady. She started walking to our building before I did and she kept looking back at me like I was going to do something to her bug LOL. Well I did, I took a pic of our bugs together! I'll post the pic later heheh, she really thought I was nuts and stalking her I swear lol

hehe funny, funny. I think this guy in a red beetle thought i was crazy because i darted around to get to him and then he turned into the gas station and i turned right after that to go into work. I wish I need gas because I would have loved to pull in but i had just filled up before i ran into him. sucks.

You never know if the driver of another NB is gonna be nice. Yesterday, I was driving home, and I saw another New Beetle in my rearview. I slowed, just a little, so that the NB could catch up. I then noticed that it started coming up fast! It finally caught up, me ready to greet, and she was waving and smiling like crazy! It made my day, and I probably made hers, and we carabugged for a few miles, until my exit, then we waved goodbye to each other. Too bad we were moving at a high rate of speed, or I am sure she would have stopped wherever I did, and I would have done the same.

Today, I saw a 2006 Platinum Gray NBC park at the mall, out in the north-forty, so I pulled up next to them. He didn't know what year it was, saying it was a rental! They loved it, were having fun, saying they were visiting from Toronto. I asked them to wave to other NB's they saw, and tell me just what rental car company rents New Beetle Convertibles! He said it was from Alamo. Good information to know, people!
