Beetles look iconic but as cars they were complete shit. Heating and blowing the windows dry was nonexistent, the car had no acceleration at all, the back seats were only meant for dwarves and kindergarteners, driving it was loud and unsafe and shaky...
We loved that car.
Of course you did. You got eyes and a heart, don't you!? It's absolutely beautiful...
I'm 6'4", the one time I rode in one, I felt like the windshield was two inches from my face.
The fifteen-minute engine change was a nice selling feature, though.
World record engine change, one minute, four seconds:
It’s beautiful!
It’s in such great shape too. They must really be caring for it.
My sister and I each had one in HS. She took the purple one and I got the black. My favorite part was something went wrong with the horn and it sounded like an old man screaming. Refused to fix it bc it was hilarious.
Oof, don't show their license plate...
I had a 1991 Mexican import to the UK. Was great, apart from the heating, mild carbon monoxide poisoning with every commute.
I can smell this car
Yep, love the classic Beetle’s. Back when Volkswagen was run by people with souls.
What did it play?
Beep beep?
Or maybe beep beep beep?
