what do you hate people saying about your volkswagen, what do you hate about your volkswagen. You know what are your pet peeves when it comes to volkswagens. Mine is people telling me that I should replace the original interior because you dont know who did what in there. I hate how easily my battery goes dead too

Why is the front so high? (My least favorite thing about my 66)
Is the color mint green? (No, it's bahama blue)

did you make a pickup out of a bus?
i respond with " yes, i used a chainsaw. it came out pretty good i think."
what is that?
gee, i dont know. dont you see the fatass vw symbol on the front?
those are hippy vans
i also hate that my tires keep getting nails in them. i drive everywhere i drive my pickup, and the singlecab ALWAYS picks up crap in the tires. did i mention that im tucking lugnut, so the rear tires are a pain in the but to get off? |

Same here!!!!!!  .
Also hate the battery under the rear seat, but not much choices for relocation in beetle's. And also hate the tight fit for the spark plug placement, not fun to deal with if you have big hand's.

You would be amazed at the things I have heard and mis-pronunciations. I have given up now and just ignore them.
A few more from the archives:
"The gas tank is in the front! Isn't that dangerous?" friend when I stopped for gas
Have heard "put a porsche engine in it" toomany times to count now.
when I had my bus it was " Nice Van, why don't you pimp it?" with me instantly wreching.
More to come...

Retard: My uncle / brother / father / cousin / old friend had one of those with a porsche engine in it. Man, it would fly . . . smoke the tires in 4th gear!
Me: Oh yeah? Where is it now?
Retard: Hell, I don't know. I think he sold it.
