Hi I am Wiskow,

Currently car less after the heat wave did in my last ride. Now I am seriously considering getting a Bug. The bajas, and custom truck bugs look really cool to me and I love the idea of making a customize car.

I am totally new to the bug/classic car world, but after seeing a ton of information on the web I am confident being a bug guy is the right choice. Plus I am in SoCal which I understanding is advantageous.

See you around the forums!

Where in California?
What kind of driving will this car see? Daily? Freeway? Occasional? Usage and backup plans will determine if you enjoy or regret the decision!

Los Angeles.
I tested many bugs this week and am liking this on 66 Baja with a hard sun roof. I would take it out on the weekends to the beach with freeway use, a camping trip to the backwoods, and errands around town. Backup plans? If the car has to get service and I am waiting on parts? I got a motorcycle and public transit.

A 1776cc is a good engine with extra power for the hills/freeway driving. If it drives good offer him $3000 cash and join us VW owners with daily drivers? You sure you don't want a squareback instead of a bug? :twisted:
