I remember when the Supers first came out...I had just purchased a brand 
spankin' new 70 bug...one of my buds had just bought a new 71 Super Beetle...he 
ragged me for bein' behind the times.
I need to look him up next time I'm in Hot Springs AR and rag on him a little!

It's all in good fun here and I am glad we can have the discussions, sparring 
or whatever on this list!
My first VW was a 71 Superbeetle so I am used to driving "bastard" vehicles!

I still think it's funny when I hear Wassertreibers complain about it.

Not sure where you got that idea from!
I know I drive a good vehicle, no inferiority here.
I am just curious why some splitty drivers seem so snobby !

Okay this is getting ridiculous!  Next thing you know we'll be breaking out in 
"Kumbaya!" wearing tie dye shirts!

No worries. I am just amazed that there are so many that don't see that they 
are all related and you can keep this great hobby alive without both air and 
water. Yeah there are a lot of air cooled out there, I have 2 air projects 
myself, but they ain't making them anymore. My Vanagon makes 2 water cooled 
projects as well. John

It's more about poking fun at people who drive bricks that should be found in 
foundation walls vs. Vintage aircooleds;  not about animosity.  ;-)

Embrace your geekiness!
Embrace you love of water-cooled VW's!
Let all others be damned if they dont like it!
Live long and prosper.

Yeah, someone with my sense of humor.  Mark and I are going to see the 
traveling Star Wars in Concert show at the end of October, here at the Toyota 
Center.  I am so excited.  Anthony Daniels (CP-3O) is supposed to be the 
narrator for the concert.  Also there is supposed to be diplays of costumes and 
artifacts from all 6 movies.  I know, I know.  I am a Star Wars geek.  But I 
don't care.
 
I will always believe in The Force.

I am exited! Today after work I went to Lonnie's house and changed the belts on 
my 86 Westy and then drove her home to my house approx. 18 miles down the 
highway! While to most of you may thing less than 20 miles is no big deal, 
remember I got this VW less than a month ago and it had not run for over 3 
years. Lonnie and other good friends, not to forget my father, helped her back 
into running shape with just 2 Saturdays to work on the engine. My thanks goes 
to Lonnie and the rest of them.

p.s. Paul, it looks like you will have another one at T@P6! I just won't know 
for sure until I pull in the lot. LOL
