Summer's '02 Black GLX

[XSuMZX]

She's my second NB.
I traded an '00 Batik GLX for this one (I had my reasons).

Sweet Bug! It looks beautiful. Nice shot too

I'm thinking Black Magic would be a cool name

-Blake

[XSuMZX]

Thank you!

I'll keep that name in mind.
I've always named my cars "S" names and I haven't found one that suits her or that I haven't used already. I guess I'm going to have to break the cycle for this one.

[BlakeS]

Haha, well then how about Sexy! (kidding)

-Blake

P.S. I'm yer bud on myspace (currently Vitamin B)

[XSuMZX]

She's too humble, haha.
A friend of mine suggested Spanky because with a few mods she could "Spank" all of the ricers around here, but I'm not feeling that either. It'll come to me at some point I'm sure.


I know, I your Beetle (which I read is also lacking a name).
I'd offer to help, but at 4:24am my time I think I'll have to hold off on that, haha.

More pics, please!




Are new wheels in store?

[JenBug]

Love it! I'm partial to black Beetles though...

[XSuMZX]

Thanks everyone!

I really like the small differences between my '00 and the '02. It's stuff no one else would notice (like the red lights under the rear view, self dimming rear view and rain sensing wipers).

I'll definitely get more pics at some point, black cars don't stay clean for very long, haha.

And a "maybe" on the wheels. I'm really enjoying these, I had the stock 15 inch 6 spoke wheels on the other one. I found some OZs that I really liked, but for not I'm not worried about it (I'm laid-off anyway).

[Billsbug]

I wouldn't change those wheels, I like 'em. When it's time for new tires, get fatter, lower profile ones, say 225/40's.

Recommendations for easy, cool mods for black NB's that you can do yourself:

2. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/VW-NE...spagenameZWDVW (contact the company in item 1, they sell the 4 piece kit for $38, this one is just for the fronts).

or http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Volks...QQcmdZViewItem
or http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/VW-FA...QQcmdZViewItem (very cool IMO)

Sharp

The Daytonas (the name of your wheels) are one of my favorite wheels.

The only thing I suggest is drop the car a little bit and install a rear swaybar. However, I suggest that to everyone A RSB makes a huge difference in the handling of the car.

And I'm digging the tan gut. It's rare to see a black bug with a tan interior, at least around here

[XSuMZX]

Another picture from the night the other one was taken. I didn't like it much when I first went through them, but I kind of like it now, haha. It's a bit blurry, I was freezing and I need to invest in a tripod.

[iScott]

Toooo sexy!

[Mr.Yellow]

I love your bug and your avatar is pritty tight to!!

[XSuMZX]

Went to Helen for Southern Worthersee, it rained, and was too beautiful to miss a photo op. (I could only stay one day, so I didn't get many show pics). I didn't have a towel so she's a bit wet in some of these.





I have a couple more, but I'm too lazy to post 'em.

It was awesome to meet Scott and see Noir'a! There weren't many Beetles there, hopefully more of us can be there next year.

[iScott]

Hey Summer. Nice meeting you and Joey. I wish I would've known y'all were just staying one day. Could've taken some pics with our cars. Noir'a wasn't really in a photogenic mood yesterday. But she looked awfully purdy today! Glad to see y'all got home safe.

[XSuMZX]

Thanks! Glad to see you made it home ok too. Thanks for calling me and letting me know about that thing last night. I'm a bummer and had to leave. Meh. There will always be next year though!



Psh, she look great.
