hi from virginia beach!

[modernage]

Hey everyone! i just found out about this site today, and i thought i would join as i just got a beetle...so please excuse my awkwardness, i don't exactly know what to put here. My name's jessie and i am a college student...loving every minute of it! My hobbies are drawing/painting, listening to indie/alternative rock (favorite band is the strokes), and reading.
I've always wanted a beetle since i was a kid, so my parents got me a 2003 gls this past weekend. i haven't seen it yet but spring break starts soon so i'll finally get to drive it on friday when i go back to the beach and i really can't wait!
does anyone have any comments or advice on the beetle i have? i know nothing about the model of my beetle (if its reliable, a good car, etc), so if you have one like it, i would love to hear your stories.
thanks for taking the time to read this, and i can't wait to get to know everyone!

congrats on your purchase...i've had my bug seven years next month...i've been very happy with mine...106K miles and counting, with some help along the way from the how-to's and members of newbeetle.org, and the folks at checkered flag vw.

post some photos once you get a chance to see your new buggy.

Welcome to the board Jessie! Nice bug you got there and Mango makes me think of the fruit!

Welcome! (S)he's beautiful...I love that yellow.

When I first signed on here, I had no idea people named their cars. I thought it was a bit odd and thought it was odder when people told me that the car would tell me what name he/she wanted. However, the more I got to "know" the car, the more I found it really had a personality and I finally started to understand. I searched and searched for a name to no avail...and finally found one I wasn't sure of. No sooner did I think of this name...I drove by a street with the same name. So, yeah, they sort of name themselves. I wouldn't rush it.

Congrats on your new baby!
