Title: Meeting Random People With Beetle Stories!
Post by: Stephan Schmidt on January 23, 2004, 02:50:00 PM
When I was driving my 1967 beetle, I had a ton of people come up to me at gas stations, or where ever I would park and tell me stories about their experiences with beetles.  Sometimes I would even get a thumbs up from someone in a car sitting beside me or driving past me.  I love hearing about people and their stories, but sometimes they can go on and on :lol:

anyone out there with a good story?  in highschool teachers would comment that they used to drive beetles and that they were the best cars they've ever had!  sorta neat.

Post your stories!

I was getting gas one day, when an older guy came up to my bug and started telling me about all the bugs he, and his friends would destroy on dirt roads and stuff, anyway when he was finished he started pounding on my roof with his fist saying\" you cant kill it with a hammer, I was horrified, and gave him some nasty glares and walked to the side he was on, and kindof moved him away, so then the friggen guy goes to the back and starts yanking on my stinger, just haulinging on it back and fourt and at the same time giveing me abuse about how it looked shitty, and asking :what the hell is this thing......\" oh man I could have killed the bastard, anyway I just got in my bug and drove away. I should have flattened the guy.......Idiots! :wacko: Thats just one story, I've got a million of em.
 Too bad i cant tell them very well.

Maybe we have some happy stories? But we could always rename this to stories about meeting damn bastards!
