VW ABOUT TO KILL OFF THE BEETLE..... AGAIN

by Bob Walsh

Sad but true, VW is going to discontinue production of the new Beetle (which isn't nearly as cool as the old one, but may be a more practical automobile if you like things like automatic transmission, air conditioning and heaters that actually work).

I am not going to cry in my beer, but it is shame never the less. I really like my 1964 Bug. It is fun to drive (about six months of the year) and reliable as long as you do routine, regular maintenance.

EDITOR'S NOTE: I had a Beetle in the late 50s which I used to commute between Riverside and Santa Ana. It was fun to drive and economical too. But I always wore a police motorcycle helmet while driving it.
