Oh, how I detest the VW beetle.

[StageLeft]

I can think of no other vehicle on the planet (or at least that you're likely to see on our roads) I'd rather be seen in less than the current gen of the VW beetle. We all know it's the female's version of the jetta. Well, what really bugs me about them is that I have not seen in months a single beetle driven by a girl that did NOT have a bloody plastic freaknig flower in the dash. What's with this? Do they give them away when you buy it? Is there a law that you have to have a plastic bloody flower in your dashboard if you drive a beetle? Is it some sort of meaningless symbol of your freedom or love of nature? Are you a hippy reborn? STOP. For my sake.

I actually found the 1999 model (in 99) fun to drive (manual trans).

 

[NathanBWF]

<---- works for a VW dealership....

Yes I agree they are very girly...and plasticky. Good thing I'm not a salesman...

 

[loup garou]

My gf has a 99, it's a great car to drive, I drove it from New Orleans to NYC last year.

 

[blackdogdeek]

they come standard with every vehicle. it's the solar cell.

 

[anxi80]

everytime i see a guy driving one, i silently have to chuckle to myself and hope that he is only borrowing his g.f's car

edit: and yes, every one ive seen has the flower in it.

That's funny. I've never seen a male version of a jetta.

The beetle is made for women and pansies.

Not only are they stupid looking, the drivers still haven't figured out how to drive yet. Of all the bad drivers I see on a daily basis, 95% of them drive beetles.

Has a longer tailpipe that sounds like a mosquito

 

[pyonir]

a bloody flower? sounds grotesque.

 

[Viper GTS]

My roommate drives one, it's surprisingly quick (and has an amazingly small turning radius).

I wouldn't drive one, but it's not a bad little car.

Viper GTS

 

[Monel Funkawitz]

It looks like a pregnant roller skate.

 

[StageLeft]

I wouldn't drive one, but it's not a bad little car [for a pansy and/or girl].

 

[Aharami]

beetle = girl
jetta = unisex
GTI = boy

worst are the riced beetles with a mid spoiler/exhaust/18" rims
any why would VW make a turbo version of this car i will never know

 

[dionx]

male version of the jetta is the Audi A4

the flower comes with the car.

So can you "deflower" it?

 

[MomAndSkoorbaby]

Me = girl but wouldn't drive one either! I like manly cars.

 

[zippy]

I came up with a great idea for VW a few months back. The end of the assembly line for Beetles should be the start for one of those machines that makes cars into cubes.

pics of Mrs. Skoorb running over a pink beetle with a hummer?

 

[aircooled]

I like the old ones better, but the news ones are OK. I like the Black or Dark Blue ones, they look a little beefier.

The bud-vase goes back to the days of the old beetle.

No, that was me!

 

[EyeMWing]

My tech teacher drives a Beatle. His wife drives a Prelude. Its actually a pretty slick little car for middle aged men with no kids, assuming you get it in silver or summat. Plenty of trunk space (Believe it or not, I've stuffed 5 Dells in that car, monitors and all).

His lacks flower-power.
