New Here!! I got mine last night

« on: September 25, 2009, 12:18:28 PM »
Well I am a brand new bug owner!! The name of the bug is currently Blink due to its paint scheme. It was my mother in laws and has been living up in Chatanooga, we're down here in Franklin County. I have been a lurker here for awhile since I knew we were getting it, but since now I am an official beetle owner I thought I would post :)


Here's my bug


And details would probably be nice. It's a 1973 SuperBeetle, I am tryin to decide whether to paint it or not after I've had it awhile. I would like to go original colors most likely, I am torn. Anyway, I look forward to being a part of your group.

LOL my mother in law! She owned it from 1991 until yesterday. It doesn't look too bad in person.

I am just not a pink type of girl.

That paint scheme works on a Beetle . . . but I don't think there's another car ever made that could pull it off in style.   8)

ya I have actually had a few compliments on it! Tomorrow i am gonna begin my journey of learning how to drive it! I found out there are 3 bugs around town that i live in which is pretty small. one is a convertible i think he said 76 red one, he told me where he had it repainted, because it use to be yellow,so I am gonna check with the guy locally here to see how much it would cost to do a repaint on it.

the guys convertible beetle is lovely , its just gorgeous.

then there is another guy who drives a pink beetle around, not sure of its yr, but I had my husband bring it up to my work on friday night , he looked pretty cute coming up in a pink and blue bug LOL..
If anything its original lol
