Anyone noticed all the aircooled vws poping up?

« on: June 24, 2007, 09:04:07 AM »
In the past week I have seen two volksrods (one grey and one black primer with red old school scallops). a conv. white ghia, a half dozen beetles. And three busses ( one camper, a 13 window, a pickup).This all happened between cleveland and chatt. Everyone must be pulling them out to save gas. Or did i miss a show?

I have notice this also in Chatt.   I try hard to see If I know anybody but no cigar.   Linda goes up and down Signal Mtn. every day for work and tells me about the Bug/van she spotted on the ride.  I don't think its gas as to many newer cars get far better fuel milage if you can stand the payments.  But if you drive a Hummer  or a Big Ford SUBDIVISON any thing would be better. :lol:

I've seen several new (OK, not "new" but new to the area) air-cooled VWs in the "triangle" recently.  Does anyone know who drives the green Ghia I've been passing the on my way to work the last couple of weeks?  It's headed south on 27 coming into LaFayette about 7:30 am . . . I haven't gotten a real good look, but I don't recognize the driver . . . or the car.   8)

i see a black guy in a maroonish bug all the time... and lots of times see beetles on the way to work on 153 and i75 saw a greenish blueish beetle a week or so ago that looked to have volks folks magnet s on the side... but they were well exceeding the speed limit (at 70+ i still wasn't catching up to them to see who was driving) so no idea if it was a volks folks magnet or some sort of other large blue and white circle on the rear quarters. there has also been a convertible or two on that route, want to say it was yellow?

 saw the guy in the red and white bus yesterday... i see him about once a week. and there was a SWEET silver super beetle down the street from me for about a week... don't know who's it was, but i would love that car!

and then the guy in the yellow buggy i see quite often too...

havent seen the green ghia tho... in fact i havent seen any ghias around

I am seeing quite a few up this way too. Hopefully we can get a chapter (if possible) of SCVF or a new air cooled VW club up here! :)

On my way to Holly Hills Community Pool today, I saw a light blue/white bus at the Conoco on Standifer Gap Road.  Talia said there was a bus there after we had already passed the store, so all I saw was it in my rear view mirror.

Earlier than then, I saw (and have seen before) a white camper that looks like a Riviera model on Jenkins Road near the Igou Gap Road intersection.
