Cool Hello from Florida

I am glad that I found this site. I have been a bug nut since I have been able to drive. I have had many aircooled vw's, now I only have 2 new beetles. I have a 2003 black Turbo S and a 2009 convertible Blush Edition that I just got a month ago. I should have some pics up soon.

Another Floridian From one beetle nut to another, Welcome. Glad you found us and we hope you frequent this great place. Where in Florida are you from? There's plenty of us around and one of us might be close by, which is always great for a GTG (Get ToGether). And looking forward to the pics

WPB is a great area- I know you're loving it there. Maybe we'll get to meet one of these days. Glad to have you here.

I found some pics I had stashed away. The silver car was my 1st NB. It was a 2001 which I traded for the Turbo S. The 1979 Super Beetle was my trade for the 2009 NB Blush Edition.

I loved it the minute I saw it. It didn't take long to trade the 2001 for it. I have changed the wheels because I think the stock Turbo S wheels are hideous.

Yes, that is a 1972 Monte Carlo. The guy has a killer exhaust that wakes up the whole neighborhood and it sits on 22's

Welcome to our family.
Nice pair of New Beetles - you'll notice we love pictures around here.

You probably should start thinking about attending out Tail of the Dragon GTG next May - it's never too early to start planning.
