You can spot "them" making a "B line" to your VW as soon as you pull in to fuel up or park... those being the ones who "useta to have won jus likes dat" and after 30 seconds of hearing about it..... you realize it was nothing like it at all.
With all the VW's with "Porch motors and wheels" that were apparently in our area...I cant quite figure out why I havent stumbled across one after owning over 100  
Sigh....maybe sum day...

I met a guy once who was quite proud of his '70 Beetle because he had put the big Karmann Ghia ('69) motor in it. Does that count? |

Well, if you want a VW that is more rugged than any of the others get yourself one of those "Things"-------Rommel used them in the desert you know. |

So strange. It's like there's already an existing sticky for this topic that's been active since 2005: Things people have said about your car

They might as well delete them
