Ofc i do mean the old ones before we go any further but i want to know who else shares my passion for them, the shape colours etc amaze me i love them so much so iv bought a vw beetle wizard 1972. my original plan was to paint it candy orange but people dont think thats a good colour for it, i want oppinions.

I also want to know who else likes or even owns a beetle or a camper van. got to love the split screen campers but shame they are so expensive.

I guess their ok if you live in Europe

You can restore it back to its original color

they trully are the symbol of a generation.
I like them, but first thing i would do is change the motor
and put bigger tires!

I received these awesome beetle car toys when I was a kid. one was yellow with pink/purple flowers. the other one was white and racecar-ish. (kinda like herby) but with more colours.

1972 beetle srsly ? europe

enlighten me why the facepalm? if you want to make a point make it dont expect a comment like that to be self explained when its not

how old are you ?

20 why? and you?

dude a 20 year old dude driving a 1972 beetle ? srsly except if you hoop it up like crazy
im 18 im driving a nissan altima

How much did it cost you?

^ hero derp

Just cause it doesn't happen often it doesn't mean he shouldn't buy one.

right on so you fit in with the rest of the world, while he rolls by people will look at him and his car.

he looks different, you blend in.

dude.. how fast can it go ? just wondering

You have a small frame of thinking and frankly it disgusts me.

Ontopic:

The answer is clear, Wong. You must and I repeat must paint it to resemble the mystery machine from scooby-doo. You can pick my up dressed as Velma and ready to go!

^ 1972 car.. sucks go chill he will pay alot of money just to fix it.. and then my question again will be how fast will it go ?

scoobie wasnt riding a beetle

edit: and zaknight u dont get it lol.

edit2: i love beetles btw, but just the old ones i dont like the new beetle.
if i had a place to stall it i would get me a beetle just to work on, bit by
bit. they seem so much fun to tweak..

Pimp it, Big peace signs and flowers, a peace sign on the rear mirror, put some surfboards on the roof and drive the whole west coast. Cowebanga dude.

Or take Hostage's idea.

I've already found my Daphne outfit, pick me up too!

how about turning it into a rat beetle that would turn heads

matter of taste if its or heads tho

please explain to me ... very small car, will cost me a lot of money to fix it or make it look good and still be extremely slow

I know but wasn't the Mystery Machine a Volkswagen as well? If not I have to go rampage a certain someone with msn nudges for providing me with false knowledge! >:(....Also you can be Daphne!

@ZaKnight
I think cin put it best and simple. You don't get it.

EDIT:
Oh I didn't see Ice wanted to be Daphne, well you two will have to fight over it but remember--no nails.

you have no idea why people like beetles dont you....................

nope lemme guess... peace stuff xD ? thats why im asking you tell me about it im serious ? whats good about owning a beetle ?

beetles are old cars meaning most of their tweaking is done mechanically (or well,
all their tweaks are mechanical). this means its a lot of fun to work on if you
want to like take out an engine, swap around some suspension etc. a lot of people
want a beetle or an old vw van just for this. besides that there is a lot of fan
clubs and beetle/van lovers clubs and parts are easy to find and cheap to buy. if
you want you can put in a bigger engine, there's even beetles that have been turned
into hot rods. so yeah you can do all you want to it, by yourself and for
not a lot of money.

so that completely shows how little you know about cars lol.

thats awesome =/ never knew that thanks for the info ^^

thats why some people should google before opening their mouth
saying something irrelevant lol

I was gonna be Daphne! I'm already in full uniform, wig and all!

thanks you kind of filled in all id say. because its old dont make it shit its not like a modern car where they all look the same going for that smooth rounded look its from a time where they made a car to stand out and have a unique look. It leaves it open to different paint styles and been old a lot of the things you can do on it have so its easier to tweak want a bigger engine you can put one in easily espesh been air cooled its not got a lot that can go wrong with the beetle or camper engines.

This car id like sprayed candy orange for me thats the perfect colour for it, or lime green.

agreed. beetle will always be an icon.

could you post a pic of it after (and maybe before) the new paint?

yea yea .. i cant say a word now ty ..
