[fiftytakedowns]

that thing is sick

[hugh jass]

i hate aircooled cars and that thing look like a real pile

[Hairos E30]

Don't convince her. Buy her a 200 dollar ring then show her you bought this vw as well. She shouldn't be so mad..

But on topic, this car is legit. would wanna see this restored.

[joshh]

I was thinking anal...


Don't like the older ones.

[Restoman]

Work on the anal part and forget this rust bucket.

[ck_taft325is]

Rust bucket?! I know some people arn't into the whole hood ride thing, but I enjoy it for what it is. A cruising car, and not much else. Mostly something to get around in while looking a bit more unique.

I have a good looking daily driver 318is right now. Fresh paint, etc etc. But the wife loves driving it and we just had one of our other vehicles take it's last drive. I figure this'll be my little beater. I even have a buddy with a spare gas tank around the Lake Tapps area and 2 batteries in the garage.

Heh, the air cooled cars are not for the faint of heart. It's more of a nostalgic thing. I've owned 3 VW bugs ('64 Oval converted to 12v, '65 beater and a '74 Super Beetle) and have regretted getting rid of each. Well, maybe not the '74, but still.

[Restoman]

Well, having a spare tank changes things. It's going to be a bit of work but it's your choice.

DOOO EEEETTTTT!!!!!

Dude, that this is sick, fucketh the haterz.

[Danny]

Sance works?

[Jean]

death trap. do you hate your wife?

[ck_taft325is]

I'd be driving this as she's in love with our DD 318is ('91). It'd be a beater car I'd cruise around in.

Stance Works is that group of guys that include that insanely wicked e28 that's petina'd? It's not everyone's cup of tea, but c'mon, can you really hate on guys that love something and do it well? It's not your car and therefore you don't have to drive it ;)

It would be a bit of work, but if it's running on a 10,000 mile rebuilt engine, I figure if it makes it another year or two it's paid for itself at $1,000. Not to mention I'd take a stab at getting him down a bit.

it seems like you've already made up your mind, so why are you soliciting for opinions?

[gazellebeigem3]

who cares what your wife thinks. arent you trying to pick up guys in that thing anyways?
