Seems that its a popular thing. I bought my first car when I was 15 , which was a 69 beetle, and I still have it almost 21 years later. I completely tore the car apart and re-did everthing then, and now Im tearing it apart again to do it right. Funny how things change when you have a income that pays more then 6.00 an hour.
Later Darren:D


Just noticed I didnt mention anything about my 55, had it for one year and havent even touched it. Cant decide if I should finish the 69 (about 75% complete) or spend all my time on the 55(which needs some TLC) Any ideas, what would you do?

It's great owning a split innit! I was born in '71 the split in '51

Yes Moog, but you act like you're STILL 16 :silly:

Owyeaaaahhh

I have a super from '74.
ANd that makes him 9 years older then me.

For the fokes that were bad in math. I'm 19!!!

End my super racebug will hopefully be running when I'm 20 (december of this year)

I'm 31 and my Super is 32. My parents bought a standard new in 71. I only paid a couple hundred less for mine than they did theirs. I thought it to be kind of funny anyway. I had a 68 that had a baja kit on it when I was 17. Now that I think about it, my parents bought there first bug when they were 17 too. My Mom has had a few since; but my Dad just had the 1. They are divorced{thought that would make sence of the difference in how many they have owned}. I hope not to ever be bugless again unless I get a Ghia sometime, then maybe.

Ok. I'm 47. I'm 2 yrs. older than my bug. I'm new to the GL look, but look at the spec's boy's. Ya wanna howl with the big dogs, ya gotta get off the porch. :D

Gee I'm old but there are a few greyer than I
 

My beetle was made in april of 1973 the same month and year I was born. Pretty cool huh? 1973 super beetle sport bug, in the family since 1976. 2nd sport owned.

My mother was 8 when my Beetle was built. She's a 1948, it's a 1956. Although, if I take into account all the modern equipment (996 brakes, 1969 chassis, 1987 944 rear suspension, etc), I think the bug would average somewhere close to my age. I'm 25 btw.

im 17 and have had my notch for a few years now, what could be better? btw, yes that icon is my notch :D

my 1303s is 2years older than me was my fathers before me you could only guess its transformations 80's 90's GL NEXT!!!!!!!!

I am the same age as my bug...

My 1st car that I owned was a 73 Super Beetle. I am 50 now and I am currently working on a 75 1303 GL. My wife says that I am trying to recapture my past but what she doesn't know is that this car will be faster than the past could ever be. I just want to drive the car the way it should have been built in the 1st place. I can't wait to get on the road and eat some rice.:cool:

Let's just say I'm older than all 5 of my VW's, but they all have ball joints.:D

im younger than all of u. :silly:

Older than my 1971 by 5 years. It's been in my family since 1972, I used to ride in the very back luggage area! I am older than some younger than others! 37 years old the day after last bug is built.

I'm 9 years younger than my Bug ('66), 4 years younger than my Girlfriend's Bug ('71) and two years younger than my "Turnip" ('73)

I'm a child of the '80s. I still have a cheez-metal rock band haircut.
