I took my young wife and baby acroos America from Virginia to California one winter in my blue Squareback. Crossing the Southwest we ran into a horrific snow and ice storm. Our VW drove on, past the semis in the ditches and big rearwheel drives abandoned all over the Interstates. I use to go to Chess Tournaments in my blue baby ... slept in the back and showered at college dorms! Loved that car ... traded it in to by a QueenAnne dining room set for my long-suffering wife. She's still got the furniture, but doesn't have me, and I don't have my Squareback ...

There was a VW ad that went "Ever wonder how the man who drives the snowplow gets to the snowplow? This one drives a Volkswagen, so you can stop wondering."

I have heard of a company that is dropping a New Beetle body onto an Audi TT chassis, tweaking the engine, and creating a Beetle that will blow the doors off a Porsche all for around $60k.
