I edited this picture of my car to show how it makes me feel. In a world of muted color and distraction, my Beetle *pops*. I love all VWs, and a lot of cars from other brands too, but I would still choose mine over any other every day of the week.

Would you still choose yours over a Beetle RSi?

My car is black. It does not pop... ever. But I bought it used for a very fair price, so I can’t complain too much.

While I disagree with your opinion, I agree with your sentiment.

I feel the same way about my RX-8. When I see another one on the road, usually in black or silver, I think it’s nice and all. But, I think my blue one just looks fantastic. Color really matters.

I saw some fucker with a NGP plate frame going balls slow in front of me earlier this week. New German Performance indeed.

Harrumph!

I love these Beetles. Great cars. Our rental one was my favorite car I've driven recently and it was a boring base model. I'd love one like yours!

It sure does pop. It’s great to have that feeling where you just keep looking over your shoulder on your way into the store, or wherever.

Man they need to do an RSi for the new body style. I know RWB did a custom beetle with Tanner Foust but VW sold do one of their own

The Beetle is my first non-Black/Granite car.

I’m still learning my way around. How do you like it?

Pretty good. Got all the Korean joints 5 mins north in Annandale, beltway’s 2 mins east (work in DC so that’s good)...about as close as you can get with a yard and a garage without paying half a million bucks, neighborhood is quiet/safe, house prices still appreciating like mad, fairly close to Dulles (travel to SFO at least monthly for work)

So yeah, not ideal for me...still a rural guy at heart, but pretty decent, I’m happy up here.

The last one was repulsive. The new one I don't mind, but I definitely wouldn't have one unless it was given to me. Just not my kind of car more than anything

It was a current-gen black GTI.

Probably an old guy. We have a lot of customers who have GTIs and get them serviced here who are past what should be their GTI days, and use them to commute in.
