I'll be honest, functionally I can understand the attraction, but looks wise...I don't get it.

I think its just that it's not really "cool" looking, but just kind of "silly" looking. Not to mention the hippie stigma it carries...and yes, sorry to all you flower children, but it is a stigma, imo!!Coming from the man that drives a square trooper!Not that I don't like the troops....just sayin!

Amd WTF, Billy? I thought you were punk rock not hippie!!!

Ps: why is it that all DJs sound the same when you're driving cross-country? You've either got the perky young female, with a cute voice but probably a face made for radio, or the middle-aged guy who still sounds like he finds Hall and Oates exciting and meaningful, through the 80s, 90s and today!!!! And now here's John Denver, taking us back down those Country Roads...

Also, this is definitely a beach surfer bus, not a hippie bus. Although I DID pick her up at around 4:20 in the afternoon.

A buddy of mine just sold a vw bus with the split wintow, and portholes in the roof on ebay last week. He got 9000 for it, and it still needs restored.
The van that was in the shipping crate just sold recently for I think around 24000! But it was in sweet condition
Unlike the one my friend sold. I rolled out to his house one day to do some work on the vxn opened the garage, and there it sat, this old whie van. I fell in love.
But I've always been a vw guy. 3beetles a karmannghia 5 scirocco's and a camper van.
There was also the old porsche 356s which was kinda a vw big brother....(Really regret ever getting rid of her)
Beetles are pretty good off road, and if you get TOO off road, you just pick them up and sit them BACK on the road!

I'm with 'Dub, I took a vacation in Puerto Rico a few years ago and rented a VW Thing for the weekend while on the island of Culebra (tiny island off the eastern coast of Puerto Rico). What a blast! There's absolutely nothing to the vehicle, your average go-cart is probably more sophisticated, but you just had to love the charm of something so incredibly simple and odd at the same time.
No bus for me, but I'd take a Thing any day (not over the VX of course though).

Interesting cause I have thought about this for quite a while, even though she is just a Sunday ride, who hit 51k miles this weekend. There is a car at a local euro dealer that has been in their back garage that I have had my eye on and sadly, the VX would be the trade-in on it. Just can't justify trading the STi since it is the best of nearly every world.
In any case, the car that has my eye is a '85 Porsche 911 Turbo w/ widebody and whale-tail.
Not thread jacking.... just sharing my same desire vs concern, heh.
