Talking Do you have NBAD? I know I do!

What is NBAD?

"According to Dr. Nancy Breland, New Beetle Affective Disorder. This is the 'craziness" that one feels when one is passionately attached to the NB. It makes affected persons do odd things, like driving past mirrored buildings so they can see the image of their car, dressing in colors that match their NB, or devoting an unusual amount of time and money decorating the interior of their NB."

NBAD generates addiction to NewBeetle.org as well.

I got this from http://www.newbug.org/faq/nb-faq-gen.html#safe and it made me smile.

I am KING NBAD!! Seriously, if i'm not the king, i'm in the top 5.

(i just did that drive by windows thing when coming home not 10 minutes ago. There's a nice building downton at the top of a hill at a light and it's perfect for doin the clutch roll-back and forward on, and lookin in the window at the same time )

There is a great mirrored window, just at a stop sign. If I am lucky, and make all the lights after getting off the freeway, I can see my spoiler go down.

Of course, I am the Queen of NBAD, if Toad is the King!

I just realized you had a TDi in CALI! Goodjob! Enjoy it, i had three people come up to me at the only two times i had to fill up when they saw me putting diesel in them. They all wanted one but couldnt figure out how to get one (i told them the loopholes too )

Enjoy. Your denial will fall out the window really soon!

OMG! My friend here at work makes/sells really great jewelry and they were just laughing at me when I grabbed a pair of earrings "just because they match my car"....seriously!

Of course, I have always noticed NB's driving around but now I make sure I look at the driver and smile and waive. But here in Phoenix, I don't see a lot waiving back Now BREEZ, I know if I saw YOU driving around,you would definately smile!!!!

I definately have NBAD! For sure!

Yeah, i've been goin steady with my babe for years now, and it's gotten to the point that my ees dont even wander when other beetles are present anymore, except for a realyl sweet woody ob that is on the way when i go to work, but both me and my babe know the woody is too old for me (does that make the woody sorta like madonna then? still hot even tho it's more than 2x my age ).

I dunno if cars can really have genders though. But I dont think gender really matter if you get into auto-ality (as compared to maybe either a cow or a bull?) Does it?
