VW's are fun cars to fool with. Fairly easy to work on but tend to be a little heavier on maintenance than I like. I had a '92 Jetta that was so much fun to drive.
Remember the old 'beetle's' that were transformed into dune buggies way back ?

If you want to talk crazy, I want to turn the second in a dune buggy:) I'm going to chop the trunk and make a truck bed. Put it on a lift kit, big knarly tires, LED bar, winch--and in winter, a hydrolic ATV plow to plow my driveway with. Truck stacks out headers.
Get you some of that!

LT, I'm legit enough to have my local welderuper to give me a quote--$2g and a look like I was completely nuts:)
While we swapping v dub stories, my first car was 1975 scirocco, I had three golfs, and most beloved of all, a 1969 orange and white two tone pop top camper van, Gus The Bus, that I drove all over North America.
And followed Phish and even hit a Dead show in Vt...now thats a story I can't reveal here:)
