Default Seeing Beetles While Driving

I know there is a thread on how many do you see but I always wonder if anyone from this forum sees other member of this forum while driving. I was wondering if anyone has ever seen me?

Me too Every single one!

Unfortunately here are not so many Finnish orgers; so it is quite difficult to see one driving by I have seen Jartza and Kuplakolmoset so far...

Looking forward to see more Finns here...

Occasionally I see "Fallingapartboy" going the other way when I'm on the highway going home from work.

Other than that I see about 5-7 NB's daily going the other way too.

NJ is too far away for me to see you billoff966.

Beetle owners sure don't seem to wave to each other on the road. Not like Jeeps or Corvettes or motorcycles....

Motorcycles do it a lot and that's a given. I usually don't wave at other beetle's but I do give them a quick Beep of my Wolo Bad Boy that usually gets their attention.
Never noticed anyone waving at me when I had a Jeep Grand Cherokee and a friend of mine has a Yellow Wrangler and never once did anyone wave at us while driving in it. Not sure about Vette's since I never had one of those. Perhaps MORAV will trade me his VETTE for my Beetle for a week so I can test out that theory.

I do! I'm a little silly though but I just want to share my love for the buggies! I did it today to somebody but I couldn't see her face because she was in front of me at a light. I'm sure I've been called worse.
