New to the forum, this is my first water-cooled Beetle, but my ninth Volkswagen. His name is Hans, he is a 2012 Beetle Turbo with a 6 speed manual. Currently I also own a 2012 Routan (wife daily drives) and 1973 Beetle (my weekend toy).
Love your beetle...and I LOVE that color! Congrats on the beetle.
Hey, we have a BIG Beetle event near you in a couple months- the 8th annual Tail of the Dragon cruise/weekend. It would be awesome if you, yours and your beetle could join us.
