Default 2003 Turbo-S and my dad...

My father, who is almost 60, got in and drove our Turbo-S. He had owned an original Beetle years ago so he had very low expectations. After driving it to the grocery, he said, "This isn't a car... it is a rocket!"

He enjoyed the turbo a lot.

The Turbo S is the most fun you can have! Be careful, he will want to borrow it a lot!

I really miss mine....

My dad hangs on to the handle whenever he rides in mine .... but I have done that a lot riding in his NorthStar Caddy, almost as fast but too refined for me!
