Yup, I've got the flat ones, but I don't remember seeing the smoked flat tail lights. Isn't there a paint available to spray the inside to make them look smoked? Hmmm...

EDIT: Never mind, I found it:

What are you talking about? Thet are both bugs, they are almost like children. You cant have a favorite.

You have a point. I only have one, so I never thought of it that way.

not so much....

I probably also have enough spare parts to build another two or three... but have you ever tried to find a part you know you bought ten years ago?

X2. I love my Supers. You get emotionally attached to your ACVW's as each one of them has a different personality.

Holy sh*t! :shock: :shock: :shock: And I thought I had the VW illness. I get flack for my 12 and I can only imagine what it would be like to have 21. Luckily I have room for that many if I was to be that lucky.

I have two vws. Unfortunately for me, they are in about the same shape and in two different states. But I dont love one more than the other. Each one has something different that I truly love and would not have it any other way.

Wow. :oops: I realize now how much everyone loves their cars. I only got my one Bug recently, so I don't think about all that.

That is why I have one favorite....of each type. I'm currently at 1 Baywindow, 1 Vanagon, and 1 Super. My total goal is to add a '71 Squareback, a split bus and a few others to that list

My goal is to get a 60s bug and a late model convertible.

So does nobody own a 75?

I have a 73 1303s ragtop. Found sitting in a garden for 11 years. Body needed lots of welding but pan & interior was in mint condition. Bought for £50. Currently undergoing full resto. Welding is almost complete.

Finally got back to Ca and saw my old 75 SB that I sold to my aunt and uncle. It's in about the same shape as I left it.
Here's some pics:
