If your friend pulled up in a brand new VW bug and you opened the door and got in and noticed that he had a flower on the dash, upright next to the steering wheel and says "Whattya think?"
How would you respond? I think I would "accidentally" knock that stupid flower on the ground and "accidentally" step on it a few times, then apologize for my clumbsiness. I've been seeing alot of these cars lately and that little flower really bugs me for some reason. To top it off these people must be replacing these flowers so they can continue to be "so cute!". |
|
After I got done laughing I would call him names that question his manhood. Then I would tell him to join the VW Mafia.
If it was a woman I would say nice car, nice flower, and you are looking lovely today. [}:)] |

Those Bud Vases make me want to ram a K-Bar into the offending parties eye to shock them out of their warm and fuzzy state of altered reality.
Happy is as happy does-------- Yeah right Chuck |

Your friend is gay....not that there's any thing wrong with that[:)]
|

"Hypothetical", thank God this did'nt actually happen to me. My friends would'nt be caught dead in a flower equipped lovebug. I'm glad I'm not the only one bothered by these.

One time, long ago, my friend had a VW bus with a 110-hp motor in it.
When he opened the door, there, in the ashtray, was a Zig-Zag Strawberry Wheat Straw wrapped dooby... Those were the days. |

You guys are obviously insecure in your manhood.

Not insecure in my manhood, just sick and tired of these 60's era burnouts with all their peace and love bullshit and how the world is a better place because of all they accomplished and drugs were OK then because all they were doing were enlightening themselves for the greater good of mankind and give peace a chance with a little help from my friends california dreaming schlock.

And the run on sentance of the day award goes to....
[:D] Just messin' with ya. VW bugs give me gas. |

I agree w/300ydclean, 60's hippy culture and it's continuing mythology is the gateway to all the liberal commie bullshit we face every day as gun owners. Imagine all the people thinking for themselves, rather than hanging on the pseudo-eastern mysticism of some pot smoking englishmen.
And your friend is either a girl(acceptable), gay(acceptable and funny), or a damn liberal commie asshole(unfortunately not punishable by death!) RANT OFF. |

[size=6]EXACTLY[/size=6]
Probably put a little better than my version,but the point is made nevertheless. People that buy bugs with flower vases are trying to relive all that 60's horse crap and should have K-bar knives jammed in their eye sockets. Chuck |

The "60s hippy culture" is the New Left. The Old Left has dominated this country since FDR was elected (although its domination was challenged by Reagan in the 80s). The continuing dominance of the Old Left is our biggest problem. The New Left isn't such a threat, and it is much more amusing (besides, hippy chicks were often cute).

WARNING:DO NOT SLEEP WITH THE ENEMY UNLESS YOU CAN BE SURE THEY WILL PRODUCE ONLY PRO-GUN OFFSPRING!And not have hippy names like Summer and Rain.

first 110 hp in a vw bus?dont think so.60 max
next when you fellows grow up you will realize its not the car its the man. i own a jeep but i dont critizie the mooroons driving the make believe 4 wheel drives(SUV). |

Scooper: the original VW Bug's engine compartment was just about the same size as the Porsche engine compartment, and had about the same mounting hardware. It was totally possible to buy a wrecked Porsche and put its engine into the VW to get a bug that could fly.

The dune buggy cottage industry had so many aftermarket engine & chassis parts available, over 200 horsepower could be had from those little 1600 cc engines. It all depended on how long you wanted the engine to last.

Anyone seen stickers of those POS's anywhere? I'm getting a '70s Ford F-150 soon and plan on putting a few pictures of VW Beetles on the side with red X's over them...
|
|
WTF!?!?!?!
I own 2 Beetles and am looking to get a third!!! I like to put them next to my colored macintosh computers and other tonka toys... I think any male who drives a VW Beetleshit or a Neon for that matter has to turn in his balls at the time of purchase. I may be wrong, but after seeing a few of these people, I'm willing to back that up. ]=) -- GB |
|
That's why I have flowers in my Beetles vase, so people will underestimate me. Now I have the advantage.
I always laugh at the people who want to know if they're "real flowers." Oh, sure, I cut them fresh everyday. Gimme' a break! Yep, I'm all peace and love and....wait a minute, what's with that NRA sticker? Really warps the fragile little minds. |

I had a 1964 VW Karman convertable bug, select-a-drop front end, Porsche rims, 67 rear end and trannie. I pulled the stock 1240 motor out and replaced it with a dual port head 1840 with dual Weber 40 carbs.
It was a true California Bug. And it smoked all of the big block junkers back in 1978 when I owned it. [x] |
|
USN, shoulda lined up with my '70 SS Camaro 350 back then[:)]
|
|
Well, If I was the person owning the Bug, and somebody messed with my property as you described, they'd be needing a trip to the dentist at a minimum. Your OPINION is one thing, violence towards me or my property is another.

yes i realize any engine can be built but i have never seen or herd of a built engine in a vw bus.yes when i was in high school back in the early 70 a couple of guys had built vw engines as in porcha engines.they never could out run a damm thing least of all any small block,big block v8 never did never will.

HOLD UP A SEC! a built VW will not run down a V8 on the freeway or long stretch of road but running down the 1320 no chance. 1.9, 2 litre strokers smoke 8 and were built at a third the cost. You cant get the traction like a bug since most of the weight is directly over the wheels, bugs will leave you out the hole on two wheeels with street, slicks or cheeter tires. Sure they wont last as long but, for that thing being a 4 bannger boxer they are incredible. And for you serious V8 guys, I'm not rippin you if you want serious power you build an 8 even I know that. but a 2180 w/ a gene berg 5 speed is nothing to laugh at even with a flower vase. I still want a 69 cammie!

There are no VW bugs in my neighborhood. I didn't think they really existed. I always thought it was a figment of some nonsensical fairly tale. [:\] Enough said!

Do old bugs count? or are they still OK?
I got a 72 bug in the driveweay next to my Jeep and evil black Ford F150. BTW it is for sale. I can do a private sale in TX. will consider trades. special discount for hippie chicks. [):)] |

you wanna talk about a smokin cheap little german car, I had friend in high school who occasionally drive her dads porsche 914 when her stock 914 wasn't running, pretty much most of the time. guess they had a thing for those little cars. anyway this was the little junky one that was made by Ghia I believe, and had a vw motor in it originally, you can still pick them up for $700 and wasn't much more than a motorcycle with a couple of extra tires and bigger fairings! Anyway her dad's had a CHEVY SMALL BLOCK in it! I don't know what cid but even a 283 would kick ass in whats probably only a 1200 pound car. She NEVER would get on it, but you could FEEL it even with her light girly acceleration, that it just wanted to jump right off the ground. shaky as hell. I have no idea how it was done, getting the engine in there I'm sure would have been a huge pain but since it's a rear engine rear drive car I wonder how the hell he came up with a transaxle for it. Us Okies will do some weird stuff sometimes, but it was coo!
|
|
You guys have obviously never driven one of the New Beetles. I had the chance to rent one -- a stick-shift, even -- for a week while I was visiting my family.
They are COMFORTABLE. They handle great. They look cute and cuddly. Acceleration is nice and zippy -- no, not a Porsche or even a Mustang, but just dandy for non-teenage driving. If they had any space in the trunk/rear seats, I would've gotten one. Unfortunately, in a one-car household, it just isn't quite big enough for all-around use. In a two-(or more)-car household, it would make a good commuter car. |

Original VWs are better (except for those buses)!!! If I could quit blowing money on guns & ammo I could throw it into this project:

Around here, some guys do have bugs. My old neighbor had a bug, and his girlfriend was hot. The gay VW is the Jetta! The really hot chicks all drive Jetta's. If you see a guy driving a Jetta, he is 100% gay.
