You don't deserve to own one.

VW literally translates to /ourcar/

Pure genius.

shhhh cuz there are the vicious VAGhaters in /o/

I was surprised how many VWs there were when I took a trip to South America recently, including old beetles and hippie buses. They must really be doing something wrong in the US market.

>>17860667
I think they only recently stopped making the original beetle in south america.

Its typically a neglected market by the other auto companies as the cars need to be vastly cheaper than other markets, so I can see why legacy VWs would be so popular.

Shitloads of tooling available for cheap from wealthier countries, and south americans love germans

>>17860686
There were also a yuge number of these little VW pickemup trucks as well. They looked rather well made and capable of dealing with not always having roads.

Although in that case I can understand why the US truck market would cockblock those out one way or another, similar to the Hilux.

Should I do it? It may not look like an original Beetle but it's much lighter and I would only drive it on summer weekens anyway. Parts are cheap and it has the easiest engine to work on. A friend of mine has a Beetle and he bought a whole new engine for like €300

>>17860714
On a second look, this one has is swapped with the 2.0 from the hippie bus but there's plenty of offers

>>17860698
Those VW pickups are worth fat money in the states nowdays. I know a guy who has a 4 door long bed version, its so fucking cool

>>17860714
Fuck yeah dude, coolest summer cruiser possible. plus, it can kinda offroad.

>plus, it can kinda offroad.
Not sure about this. The Netherlands is entirely flat so the only place to offroad is the dunes but that's probably illegal. Some of the buggies are a little bit flatter so they might work better on the road
I'm very curious to see how it would drive

The main reason I haven't yet bought one is that I can't store it. I live in an apartment on the third floor with park spaces in the street. I might look into hiring a garagebox somewhere

Beetle production ended in Mexico July 2003 (2004 model year)

Bus (called Kombi) production ended in Brazil in 2013 (converted to water cooled by then)

I remember that car. My friend hate it with a passion because he spent a lot of time in shop due to that car. It has the characteristics of Italian. Mamma mia, what a disaster!

it's the perfect /o/tist car, you are no longer a busrider yet you can still benchrace based off wikipedia articles.

My parents have a '63 with a custom engine and a bunch of other modifications, I can't say much more about it but it's really fun to drive. On the 'slow car fast' scale I'd actually consider it more fun to drive than a Miata, and with all the upgraded parts in there I'd actually say it *is* quicker than the Miata I own
