Hi - I'm TheAngryGerman
Hi - I'm new to the site and finally got some picks. I live in St. Louis (south side) with the wife and two kids (11 & 8).
Two weeks into my '07 NB and lovin' it! I'm an old air-cooled guy ('72 standard/'71 super/'68 autostick/ '77 Bus/ '74 squareback) who swore he'd never own another water-cooled after an uber-miserable '85 Golf. Well after my '99 GMC Safari (aka Toybox on wheels) shot craps a few weeks ago it was papa's turn for a new ride. I didn't set out look for a Dub but this one found me. When I went to Sinclair GMC for a new ride this baby was on the used car lot - by the time the test drive was two blocks from the lot I was sold and took it home that night. Its a 2007 loaded w/ 18k miles. I gave $11.5K. I think I got a decent deal considering similar Dubs here in StL are going for 16-18K. Carfax is clean and its had only one owner before me. Sweet. I love the 2.5l. Zoom. I take back all the swearing from 1985. Its good to be back home in a VW. Alles gut endes gut.

Funny how they just reach out and tap you on the shoulder and say "pick me"
Looks good.

Beautiful Beetle! I especially like the picture with Martin Luther. I'm mostly German, a Lutheran and I drive a Volkswagen.
More pics! Your user name is cool too!

The name comes from suffering under the only joke people seem to know about germans -
Q: What do you call and angry german? A: A sour kraut! It just seemed to fit...

 My great grandma is 100% German and she used to swear and yell in German while waving a broom at her 2 youngest sons when they dared talk back to her. Now I'm hungry for hot potato salad, kraut burgers and butterballs. yum.
