Who drove their bug today?

[alex857]

Saw some nice sunflowers on my way to work yesterday and thought they might make a nice picture with my 1983 Mexican Beetle (special edition "Special Bug").

Back from a couple weeks of business travel I gave both these Kozin's a deep cleaning bath. The '02 Boxster usually spends most of its time garaged in Manhattan. Only a good weather car. But with no rain in site I switched the Beetle with it. At least for the next week or two.
Both running strong, well and a pleasure to drive.
Sometimes I catch myself looking for that 5th gear in the Super Beetle which as we all know does not exist, ha.

It wasn't today, but last week, drove to Florida to see my paralyzed sister. 699 miles to FL (in one day) and 725 miles coming home (in one day) . Saw Steve Boatwright in Brunswick to thank him for fixing the car on the last trip. It's running great.

Yesterday, cruised to the VW Nationals in Hagerstown, MD.

Aside from the drag races, there were some amazing cars, including this incredibly restored 1949 standard. Mind-blowing

Excellent photo! That could be for a VW factory calendar, except for the modern "EU" license plate style.

Did your group stay on secondary roads (Landstrassen), or partly on the Autobahn?

[alex857]

Thanks! In our little parade, we stayed on secondary roads; but the way to our first meeting point was individual.

Hi, I took my 1984 Velvet Red Beetle and showed my beloved Bodensee area to two friends of mine. We had four impressive days on tour with the Beetle.

Took a 325 mile road trip to Volksfest in Moxee, WA

Great show and nice weather!

I drove my 1970 to the softball park, stopped at the local NAPA event on the way home. They gave out a bunch of little freebies, and I bought 2 cases of conventional oil at 99 cents per quart.

And increased the idle a hair on my 30/31 PICT on its 1600cc DP engine.

I rolled mine around the garage so that I can access the passenger side for body work... Does that count?

I drove my 1970 to the bat to watch the Steelers game. See the vintage/patina-ed Steelers sticker in the window ! I bought my VW in 1972, before the Steelers' 8 Super Bowls !!!
