that...

i look at the oil my car drips with pride?

i'm a master of 'the dance of the cold morning' (clutch, gas, cluthc, gas, clutch, clutch, gas) and i enjoy it?

everyone that drives a VW has a name for them?

before long everyone calls them by that name.

i enjoy it when people with oodles more power and tourque than my hoon past me because i'm just in a volkswagen?

i get excited when someone in a VW waves at me?

everyone now knows me as 'the VW nut' (i'm not obsessed - honest )

i feel like i belong to a small fraternity despite the fact that i drive the most common car in the world?

...

come on people - keep it rolling

why is it that every day when I go down to my garage and look at my 66 beetle that I picked up for $200.00, and know that it needs heaps of work which is going to cost heaps of $$$$ I still love it. :kiss

why is it that i as a teenager choose a VW over all the other shitty cars out there and why is it that i choose to work on my VW rather then important HSC schoolwork???

why is it that when i`m on the internet the first and mainly only thing i do is go on the forum:thumb
must be the vw infection

why is it that everytime dad tells me i should be saving money and forgetting my bug so i can get a (real car) and pay for rego for it ....i tell him that im gonna get it on the road whether he likes it or not!?

Why is it that I'm going to enjoy spending $2000+ on doing up my 64 Type 3?






Because 'Bertha' is part of my life...

why is it i know i could buy a different car or a better vw but i keep putting money into my bus........which happens to be my first VW.....whats with the strange connection :bounce

Why is it....

when my wife hugs her beetle or kombi it makes me feel all warm inside?

Why is it that within a year the one baja has been joined by another baja, a superbug, two more bugs and i'm looking around for another one to baja?

Why is it that my rough-around-the-edges '75 kombi gets pride of place in the garage, while my girlfriend's 'new' $12,000 2000-model Hyundai sits in the driveway exposed to sun, rain, and birdshit?

Why is it that her kids would rather travel in my kombi than the air-conditioned and cd-player-equipped shiny red Hyundai?

That i would rather buy my beetle a present than myself?

why is it that because I own one, everyone automatically assumes I'm an enthusiest?

Why is it that i actually find polishing my car a relaxing thing to do! Sad man!

Danny:thumb:P

why is it that i always buy stuff for a vw that i dont have??and my dad thinks that im a idiot for wanting to sell my nissan for a vw when he has two of them??!!

why is it that each day when i walk to the garage i know the one vehicle that is guaranteed to start first time every time, is the triumph sprint.

why is it that i really dont care....

why is it that when i starts to rain i have to really think whether i want to close the safaris or leave them open and enjoy the climate.

and most of all, why is that once you get more than one vw in your back yard that they magically breed and produce more vw's.... or is that just the excuse i try and pass off to everybody, as afterall once you give them a name they become life like. (might call me next one fluffy---the rabbit)

why is it that i am spending all my time and money on "a van" instead of school, instead of partying, and why is it that i cant wait to park my old van between the BMWs, Alfas and Skylines in the P-platers carpark at school?

Why is it that i bought my wife a $16,000 new car.
And the Beetle still gets the garage and the new car is out in the weather.

Hey KK looks like we both have our priorities right.:thumb

why is it that when everyone around you is calling your baby a 'bomb', an 'eyesore', a 'waste of money' a 'deathtrap' a 'heap' or seventeen million other considered and derogatory names it makes me more determined to keep it? Why is it when the reasonable questions of reliablity and safety and comfort crop up about VW's my normally logical and functioning brain goes and plays with a donkey in a paddock, leaving my mouth free to explain the inordinate amount of money spent on something that requires little or no upkeep? why is it that 'unsafe at any speed' now means 'cruisin in comfort'?

welcome to the phenomenonemoneman

Why is it..... you curse and cuss your car because of the bits constantly falling off or breaking,, dread the cost, time, inconveinience of fixing the problems, curse and cuss as you bash your knuckles whilst saving a buck or ten diy, or are left without a car for a week or so, with cabin fever setting in and realise how much you miss seeing it waiting by the window like a faithful doggg ...... once completed, all of the stress drops away, the cost is irrelivent... you get back behind the wheel, turn the ignition ... .. .. . "ahhhhh,, its good to be home.... lets ridddeee!".
