...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.

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.

The Beetles made in Mexico are illegal to bring into the united states because of emission standards
