Hi Nena here. I'm now the owner of a 2000 Beetle with a 1.8t. Don't ask me how i ended up in a Red Beetle. I went to look at a mk4 GTI and drove out with this red beetle. (I hate red cars) It's actually growing on me and I'm happy to have it as my DD. (Well at least it's suppose to be) I want to lower it and put some wheels on it but who knows what I'll do. My baby is a Mk3 GTI. He is under a lot work and never home (hence why I needed a DD. Hes almost finished, hes getting painted. I also use to have a mk2 (I got into a really bad accident with him)

Don't be a Beetle hater. That is a virtue of the 'tex. This is not the vortex. We here at the Org, love all VWs, including your GTI, but it's sad that other VW peeps don't love our New Beetles. I will never understand that.



That rant over, and done, Welcome to the Org!

Welcome!!

You know....when I got my NB I wasn't even in the market for a car. But now - I am SO THANKFUL I have my NB and I am willing to bet you are going to fall head-over-heels in love with yours before it's over.

Glad you are here!

So what would be your favorite color if you were to ever repaint your Bug?

I never said I was a Beetle hater. I said I hated RED on cars. I actually had drove a Beetle when I was like 16 and had fallen in love with it back then. I won't lie I prefer and LOVE my GTIs <3 But i'm getting use to the ride and the comfort I feel in the Beetle. I have a bad habit of liking older cars, and not wanting to have a newer one.

If I painted the beetle a different color it would be...Black or White since I already have a Pink car. If I didn't have a Pink car I would probably go Pink. :P

I'm in the market for some wheels, but after spending so much on my mk3, I don't want to dump money on the beetle. I rather make her faster.

I agree with you about the red car...they are everywhere and they all look the same IMO. I think you will really come to like the beetle...the 1.8T has plenty of spunk and makes a great daily ride. So which car is pink? The one that's being painted?
