    America's socialist counter culture movement VW Love Beetle

    But one socialist icon still lives on... The AK-47.
    The weapon of choice of socialist, gang bangers, drug cartels, Islamic jihadist and the Democratic National Committee who allowed China to flood America's neighborhoods with 400.000 Chi-Com AK-47's in exchange for illegal campaign contributions to the DNC, (Chinagate)

    The VW was the only good thing socialist has ever produced for the world.

    Even surfers had VW's

    My first car was a blue 1966 VW Beetle with a white interior. Showroom condition. Bought it for $900 in 1979 and sold it for $1,200 in 1983. I wish I still had it.

    I also had a 1967 VW Bus, but it was a little worn out.

    Learned to drive stick on a VW transporter. Then my friends dad and I pulled its 1600 cc engine (all 40 horsepower and 70 ft lbs of torque) and put it into my first car, a 74 beetle.

    Still would like a bus but don't have room for a second vehicle.

    I remember when Mexico stopped making the original bugs in the late 90's.

    Mexico city taxis are mostly bugs.

    Owned a semi-automatic Beetle in the 80's. Uphill or against the wind it could reach 55 mph.

    Wow, a thread that allows right wingers to both sneer at socialism and cheer fascism. God bless!

    I took my date to the prom in a bug.

    It was dark outside and she asked why I was driving so fast.

    I was doing 55 and it was so noisy and windy in the cab she thought I was speeding. :mrgreen:

    They are selling eurovans for 100K.

    I don't know that they are going to have much of a market here.
