2006 Platinum Gray Beetle Convertible
2.5 V5 w/ 150 horsepower. Should be here in a week or two [img]smile.gif[/img]

should look like this, cept with a black interior and the 2006 body changes which are pretty subtle...



assuming that's a linkable image and not a red X [img]smile.gif[/img]

Cool.

Some people think Bugs are for homos.

To those people, I say one word: "Miata".

Jor, whatever happened to that dentist's chair you bought to make into a alien poker-gouger-thingee?

i still have it, i'm just not done with the basement yet... this summer was completely fucked up and i haven't been able to put more than 8 hours into the basement since april...

but i can't wait to get my beetle! They gave me a 2004 silver convertible to drive until it arrives. Which is cool, but it's got the standard engine and it's automatic so it's just not as much fun...

Nice! Love that color.

The wife saw one of those today and really like it.

Cool!
I was looking at one parked in front of the house I was doing last week-

Bug lover.... [img]tongue.gif[/img]

[Joranthalus]

yeah i'm totally geeked about it [img]smile.gif[/img]

here's a pic of the body changes they did for 2006. all bumper and fender related. They bring the fenders in a little tight so they aren't rounded out as far, the headlights are more oval, and the grill looks more part of the rest of the car...

I am still amazed on how big is the space in the front....but still have my doubts on the back [img]tongue.gif[/img]
