When you say you're seeing 10 water-cooleds already, is that just Beetles, or other VW models? I ask because up here (Wisconsin/Minnesota), most air-cooled dominated shows are lucky to have 2-3 post-1998 Bugs and maybe a combination of 5 Jettas, GTIs, Golfs, Sciroccos,or Corrados. Then again, here's the weird part: From my experience as a NB owner, Bugs with radiators, especially those kept stock, are embraced better at predominantly air-cooled shows than at the all-water-cooled VW events, and this is why I'd never bother with something like SOWO or Waterfest.
