Yeah, he’s definitely not respecting the car’s originality/heritage by making it just another poseur stickered, slammed beetle.

As for the OP, not sure what they expected given what they wrote. Nobody here has to know you personally, we have your words, and what would anybody expect to represent themselves on a forum but their own words? Laughing


For whatever reason, you have a real boner out for me on this one. Not sure why exactly. I simply posted up a question based on some observations lately. For someone claiming to be so easy going and reminiscent of how things used to be with "VW People", you sure are coming at me pretty hardcore over a simple musing question. I'll leave you to it on this one.

Of course, it's all on me. Nothing to do with what you or anybody else in the thread wrote. Rolling Eyes A big hint: my first post in this thread wasn't even directed at you, but some other comments made by another poster.

You then responded to it and exposed your true feelings on the matter. Not my fault. Maybe chill out a bit huh? Laughing

I've looked through your posts and you seem to be a shit stirrer as was pointed out by a couple of members that PM'd me. Easier to just block from seeing your posts. Peace out.

sharp64, does this mean you are no longer interested in the pics of the 60 when it got drug out of Pine Bluffs, WYO in 1996 that I misplaced and have been searching for?

Sure if you want to send. I won't track you down and pester you about them though. Laughing I'll add them to the scrapbook I've started with all the receipts, pictures of when it arrived and birth certificate I just got. Wink

IDGAF whether he wants them or not, I want to see them & the back story on that one. Laughing

Me too.
I'm going to be passing through Pine Bluffs in a couple of weeks, and I want to know where to look for hidden treasures.

When you get into WYO from the east, exit off I 80 and pick up the latest Traders Shoppers Guide at the TA truck stop. Look in the "on the road section"for bargains Laughing
