Ok so here is my story.....

I have always loved a beetle old and new. My husband had an old one in high school and loved it, has always told me how much fun it was. We have recently been looking for an old beetle convertible to restore. We found a couple but it never worked out.

Last week i went by a local dealership and out front sits a new red convertible.....cue instant attachment. I take it on a test drive and love it. We take home for a weekend on loan to see if we really like it (i know im already sold on the car).

So Monday morning we bought the car and it has been a dream. I washed the car today and braved the cold just to ride with the top down

It was really great to find a website like this that has resources about my new car....i was so glad to find out the crayon smell was normal

Howdy! Welcome to the family

One thing we crazy Beetle people love, is pictures of other Beetles! If you need any help on uploading any, let us know! But you can upload pictures from your computer directly to the website here and they host them, if you don't have any other options.

Ooo. That is very shiny!
Might I recommend, for some of your nicer shots in the future, disabling the "time / date stamp" on your camera

By the way, driving with the top down in the cold... you should get a Red Baron style hat and a great big red scarf, call the car Baron, and be on your way to fame *heh*.

We'd have 3 if we could talk Salsaman into taking a Black Sharpie Marker to his top!

Really, we should park together there.

Oh contraire. It's called Salsa Red with a Beige top!

AHEM - Farrah has been on this board for almost a year and will be at the TOD. Have you been ignoring her all this time??

Umm hmmm right after you throw a bucket of bleach on your top.
And yes - we'll park together for some photo shots. I got a date with KDBug to do the same.
