Here is my new beetle. I was originally planning on a vintage beetle, but decided against it at the last minute. Who needs three cars anyway? heh.
So, we traded in our little Ford Escort and bought this cutie. I would have liked a girlier color... and preferably automatic... but I had to compromise in order to get something Mr. Man would be willing to drive. So... there she is.
(I should mention this.... Four hours into ownership, and 1 hour into having it switched onto our insurance, I ran it into our house. It was a bit of a misunderstanding between gas/brake and my foot. I have never driven standard before, and I must say I did quite well up until said incident. It wasn't THAT bad. I just skooshed the hood a little. Thank god for insurance! No doubt the Geico claims guy had a good laugh at my expense...

All fixed now...
ooo shiny... :43:
