Hi all!
When the New Beetles rolled into the lots nearby, I couldn't even legally drive yet, but I knew I wanted one from the moment I layed eyes on them...
When I was seventeen I went to the local VW dealership to test drive a new Turbo Beetle, but alas, here you have to be 18 with cash-in-hand or 21 to test drive a sparkly new Buglet. So I admired from afar. My favorite at the dealership was a twankly yellow model with two-toned leather interior. They wouldnt even let me sit in it. I had to sit in the cloth model in the showroom.
As years passed, the VW dealership by my house closed and the next one was 30 minutes away. I went through a couple of Chevys and Fords- my favorite being an 82 Chevette that I painted entirely in handprints and the interior in celestial design. And I waited. And I waited.
Two weeks ago I handed over cash for my '02 Snap Orange Turbo beetle with two-toned leather interior. Not exactly my favorite colour but darn near the yellow one I pined for as a teenager. "Lola", my punkin car, is this big fat orange smile in my life. I bought her with 38k miles and have since put over 2000 on her (Yes, in two weeks). She has a permanent place in my driveway. I cant wait to put 100k, 200k more on her.
Yay!
I love how the whole car is colour-coordinated. The wheels are orange, the interior is orange... even my flowers are orange. Im too happy.
