|

Why don't we have a thread like this in the beetle forum. I can start one right now
I see a tray for the rear deck lid for convertibles for sale
but I don't know what years they are for
Should a 79 vert have one? |

It isnt the stupid questions that get me, rather the way off topic answers. |

Nope, 70 was the last year of them.
that is not a stupid question, a stupid question would be where can a buy the cheapest chrome tinware to replace my perfectly working original stuff. _________________ Quick little bug, you got a Porsche motor in that?

hitest,
That's not cool. Most of us have done an oh crap reply or post at one time or another. However, to single a person out, especially someone who got a part that did not have directions with it, really give this forum a bad name. I am sure that if someone went through all of your posts, there would be some that you are not proud of. Making fun of people as a whole is okay, but it is not okay to point a finger at someone, when they believe that they have a valid question. Would you rather that the person didn't ask, and the roof rack came flying off when you were behind them.

I do have to say there is quite a lot less roasting of posters in this forum than others
Which is good and bad
Hopefully a post like this might keep some of them contained! |

Stupid questions and smartass answers liven up the joint..what sucks is when people call out others as "un cool" when their reply offends them..
