Just Real quick, for now.
My Wife wanted a Freaking Old Beetle when we were Married 26yrs ago.
I managed to not be seen in a Beetle for the better part of the first 25.
I explained to her the nature of an air cooled engine in an IOWA WINTER,,, NOT enough HEAT to thaw the frost from the inside of the windshield.
Oh did I say,,, Quick for now???
Oh Well....
So about a year or so ago,, the Wifes 2001 Merc. Mountaineer was needing replaced.
Ah shit the Beetle talk starts again, She starts looking at New Style Beetles, and I tell her there is just no way I could ever fit in a beetle.
I am 6'4" and at the thme was around 375-80lbs.
And them things are GUTTLESS,,, I will get RUN OVER trying to get on the Interstate.
Several monts go by, and she has test driven a few Beetles....
She swares I WILL fit in a Beetle...
I am adamant,,, I am not Driving one those GUTTLESS Wonders no matter if I can fit.
Then she pulls the UMmmm... I found a BEETlE with a TDI.(Turbo Diesel),And they get like 42mpg.
Her Moutaineer got 15-16, My 2000 GMC 454 4x4 gets 13mpg(if I baby it).
With the miles we drive , the math added up REAL QWICK
I Do fit VERY well, and taken several 900mi. trips in it to Southern Co.
With out the TDI these trips would be so out of reach simply due to
$$$$.
The German engineering is so user friendly.
This is a VERY FUN car to drive.
The Luaghs I get when passers by peep the Wooly assed old Hillbilly
Rocking HARD in THA BUG,,, WELL those are PRICELE$$.
Pluss, you can set your large pizzas in the dash, and they ride GR8!!!
I would Still have rather she found a 2door GTI TDI,, But Oh Man am I ever a TDI Fan for LIFE.
Peace; 1TT
