Just how many of your dogs can you get in there?
Shelteez is right ... no dogs allowed! I would prefer if no kids were allowed, either, but I can't really do that, since my son is twelve years old. I want to put a sign on the window that says, "Clean, freshly showered adults only!"



I wanted to buy this one a few months ago, it is the newer model, 5 speed. I was just amazed at how much room these little guys have in them. Somebody beat me to it. It was in perfect condition too. So I am so jealous! I want one of the newer models too.......
Too cute! I wish you would have gotten it! They have tons of room inside, don't they? My dad loves to ride in my Beetle, because he's a tall, old guy. He says it's the easiest car for him to get in and out of that he has ever ridden in, and the only car he doesn't hit his head getting in or out.



Twisterdog, I had no idea that they had stopped making them for that reason! You sure see a lot of them now. People buy them and restoring them.
Actually, they didn't quit making them until 2003. They still made them in Mexico. They just quit importing them into the US because they didn't pass the emmisions and safety requirements. They are used everywhere in Mexico, especially as taxis. I heard, though, that one of the reasons they quit production totally in 2003 was that taxi companies there are all going to 4-door cars, instead of 2-door beetles, so that unscupulous taxi drivers couldn't hold people in their cabs demaning more money or robbing them. Interesting.
