This thread is getting me wanting another VW Thing or a Bug w/ the fenders chopped off and the exhaust pipe sticking way up in the air.

Damn, that didn't take long. I'll let it slide... this time.
Go to Target and get one of those big plastic containers to keep all the original parts in. Thanks!

I was 13 when I received that bad boy. Loved it for three years and sold it to a buddy for $50.

Where are you staying in Miami? I'm only about 5-10 minutes from MIA. We will definitely have to meet in person...

Man, it makes me want to find a bug as a project car. First car I bought was a 71 VW, turned it into a baja. Lost count of the VW's I have had. Maybe I should find a fixer upper for my spare 3.6
