Honestly have you tried driving at 88MPH? LOL It worked in Hollywood.....Go back and scavenge a few elgin bluebirds, evenrudes, and maybe an old space lander for good measure. :lol:
 
I'd still rather have my V-dub Rabbit Drop top GTI clone. Simple, easy to work on, GREAT on gas, sporty, and drop top. What more could a guy ask for? Although power windows and locks would be cool and the door handles are a pain in the winter. (not my first V-dub) But they are tough as nails and with proper maintenance they run forever.

Rabbit GTI Primer edition, with special attention to wiper arms and vinyl top!

Those watrcooled dubs are great cars, they might not be really fast, but they sure feel like they are.

Yeah that wasn't my doing, It was in primer when I got it (lots of primer) He sprayed EVERYTHING grill, bumpers, top, the guy evidently didn't know what masking tape was for...lol. I'll have to show the dash later, it's painted white, yellow, and burlap. :? Yes the guy covered the dash with Burlap...Don't ask me why. :roll: I am slowly but surely getting it painted black with red trim and emblems. I'm thinking of covering the dash with some kind of fake rabbit fur or something off the wall crazy like leopard print or zebra print. It'll be MUCH nicer when I'm done with it. I agree it's not the fastest thing in the world but it'll get up to speed in a hurry, 110 HP from the GTI power plant, 5 speed stick shift, and light enough I can lift the back wheel off the ground by myself! And VERY responsive handling....Honestly feels like driving a go cart. Very fun to drive, especially with the top down. :mrgreen:

Dude.... :shock: your car is cleaner than my kitchen table. :shock: Very nice. Hope my V-dub turns out even half as nice as those bugs.
