Sweet Ride

[Beetleboi -Greg-]

So I started this topic because I thought it would be neat to hear of the people who told you you had a cool car on the road.

Example 1 I was driving to work the other day and I saw a Corvette and I kinda ignored them b/c I don't like making eye contact with anything at a stop light with more than 36 HP  drive&&  s3 . So they pull up even more so we are bumper and bumper and the beep and say nice car and smile.

Example 2 I was driving home from work and this guy pulls aside of me beeps and gives me a thumbs up he was driving a toyota supra.

I think it's need when people don't close their minds and appreciate not only cars, but anything for what it is and now what it could be.

Who has told you that you had a sweet ride? What were they driving? Huffy Bikes count too.

I've noticed that a lot of guys in the New Rabbit's and Jettas wave to you, pretty cool cause that's what they did back in the day when you would see another Beetle.

Had an Egg Harbor City cop pull up next to me @ intersection gave me the hairy eyeball, I'm thinking of chit I'm gonna get busted for no deck & no front plate... then he says "cool car, I like the retro look" That made my day. ;D  flamebug**

I've got tons of storys about my Bradley GT and I guess its expected since its such a weird car.

But....

The best ones are when I'm out in the 72 super.

A couple of years ago I was parked at the old Haddon Township Car show when a guy comes up to the car and just starts walking around it and looking real hard. After about 3 or 4 trips around he starts muttering "I don't believe it! I just don't believe it, you have it all!" OK not to be shy I had to ask " Just what is it that I have??" The guy stops walking around and tells me about 25 years ago he had a blue 72 super with a roof rack. He had a spiral bound copy of the idiot book ( I had one sitting in the back seat ) and a china "Hula Girl" on the back deck ( I've got one I show with the  car and I've had it since I was 17 years old! ) The guy was around my age and he just went on how much he loved that car and seeing my car just triggered so many great memories he couldn't believe anybody still had a VW let alone all the other stuff.

One more good one,
I was out in the Super and parked in the parking lot of the local Acme, waiting for the wife to  come out. A woman around my age comes up to the car and starts with "Its Beautiful ! Just Beautiful!. I thanked her for the compliment and asked if she was a VW fan. Her reply was kind of sad, she told me about 15 years before she had a convertible 72 beetle that was close to the color of my super. She said she loved that car and drove it everywhere. One day she was out and stopped at a light when the car behind her started beeping, looking back she notices smoke coming out the back of the car. Not knowing what to do she jumped out and started yelling "Fire ! Fire", well after a few minutes the fire company sent a truck out but it was too late her engine was burning along with the back of the car.
She told me ( with tears in her eyes ) she loved the car and refused to junk what was left but had it towed back to her house and pushed what was left into the garage with the hope of restoring it some day. I asked how bad the damage was and she told me everything from the back of the front seats back had melted or was burned and even the convertible top was completely burnt.  Now somewhere around the Haddonfield area is a woman who can't part with the burnt wreck of an old Beetle simply because she has so many great memories and she still believes by some magic the car will someday be restored! 

Thats 2 good reasons why I love these cars!

 Recently I was getting gas at the Wawa and for those that know the older car the tanks in the front trunk. So I was under the hood pumping gas and I heard a voice from a women next to me driving a big Benz. asking is "that new"? I replied that I couldn't hear her very well so she got out of her luxuary car and came over and was grabing Louies interior as she rubbed her hands up and down the seats saying what year is it, is it new? I replyed with a chuckle no it's a 56, she said Oh-ooo 2006? I said no 56, she said puzzed'ly  c23 a 1996, I looked her in the eye and said it slowly so she could read my lips, and slowly said "1956" her reply was O.M.G this car must have been stored in one of those vaults like I store my furs. I had to turn away as I began to laugh to myself so hard. Besides that I had to get Louie out of there because he was getting all excitted from her stroking him.  :icon_cheers:

The other thing I offten get is that people tell you. "I had one Just like this" I reply just like it? Yea-aaa just like it? Hm-mmm and to think that I thought that my Dubs were different...  s#r
