Default Warren's Wascally Wabbit...a 2007 Candy White Rabbit...Grace.

well...i'm seriously behind getting pics posted.

here's my new daily driver (at least for a few months, could be for a long time). i really like this car.

for the background, my daughter Ali's been driving my Dad's old Grand Prix the last 5 years...phantom electrical problems keep piling on, and I decided to put Ali in Ikiane for a while...at least until she and Josh decide what kind of "new" car they really want.

i was looking at 2002-04 Turbo Ss and newer GLS/GLX beetles, when this Rabbit popped up on Craigslist...took a look.

after a few twists and turns, i bought Grace, a base Rabbit (with alloys) three weeks ago...

a little < 30,000 miles, a price i couldn't walk away from, and <gasp> a WARRANTY.

Anyway, here's Grace.

Yeah, being that it was Grace Slick who sang White Rabbit (go ask Alice)Grace would be more fitting- at least for me it would

Glad to have you at TOD with Iki or grace

thanks guys. Al, i think i might be able to find someone 'round these parts to do just that. bahahahaha.

btw, i am taking a page out of the Debbie Nye handbook for the Rabbit...other than mudflaps, and maybe some tint....this one's gonna be staying stock...unless i can figure out a way to add heated seats.

i'll still have the NB, but i'm really enjoying the Rabbit as a DD. :-)

well, after almost two years of extremely reliable driving, Grace is off to her new owner...

Gracie stayed in the family, though...her new owners are daughter Alison & husband, Josh.

hmmm. so, I have Iki back as a daily driver for a while...wonder what the next DD will be?
