I never really counted but I do see NBs consistently while I'm out and about. In my area the most common colors are red, blue and silver, and yellow for the tin tops. Harvest Moon and dark blue seem to the popular colors for the verts. The rarest are black and white. The greens and oranges fall in the middle.

Thumbs up

Oddly enough, I only passed two today on my trip to the salvage yard which spanned a grand total of 160 miles. One was blue and the other, which passed me as I was gassing up was black, like mine. Passed a 1970's something parked in front of a house on VA-231 (Fort Valley Road).

I carabugged today! I was following a red vert for about 1/2 an hour on the tollway today. Also I saw a Riviera and a Satellite blue and a yellow and a black one. I'd say it was a good beetle day

That is an excellent Beetle day!! I drove JB today and I saw a Triple White, 2 Silver, 1 Yellow and I think one of those weird purple colored ones. It was kinda ugly. I still waved though!!!

Yesterday, on my way home I was cut off by a battered and mangeled Silver Arrow. Dumb bug abuser! He preceded to weave his way through the other cars, and it became pretty obvious how his beetle got so beaten.

However, just before I got to my house, I saw a rare and illusive Reflex Yellow!

I went back out, and immediately drove past a Batik Blue...Lovely color, dirty buggy.

On my 10 minute drive to my boyfriend's show, I also saw a yellow, a red, and 2 Cyber greens.

On the way back I saw another red and an Aquarius blue vert.

I see on average about 10 beetles a day. maybe i should make flyers and and leave them on all the NewBeetles i see in town... WE ALL SHOULD DO THAT! then we'd get more members!

emi, we do have .org tags to leave on other people's cars. i've tried, but i've not gotten one person to visit the .org so i gave up.

i see about 4-7 beetles a day if i'm out and about. not nearly enough.

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 was only out for a bout an hour today, and half that time was inside of the shops I went to, yet I still saw a Harvest hardtop, 2 silver Turbo Ss at the same intersection!, 2 others, in colors I can't remember right now, and a red one I often see parked near the grocery store.

Emi, I write about the .org on the back of some tags that were made for the VW Club of Tulsa, and have talked to a few owners about the website, but like Erin I've had no response. I still do it, though!

Have at it, and have fun with it!

I saw dozens today, Turbos, convertibles, '98's and custom colored business ones, and one of those "Mountain Dew" colored ones that I can never remember the color name.....

But, none of them saw us, as my ex and I were in the Passat going to our sons football game.
