What's your fav. reaction?

I always like the picture taking, especially when a car starts to fly by on the highway, then slows down, and drives beside you for long enough to take a couple shots...one time when there were several of us in a carabus, someone passed slowly with a videocamera...I always wonder how many pictures my VWs are in...

The question I always get is,"Did you cut it up yourself", when I drive my DC.

At a stop light... turning to the side to see someone staring at my 64' with a big grin and two thumbs up.

[Chumley]

I get razzed by the friends cuz I've got two other VW's ('88 Fox & '98 NB) but am currently driving my '68 with DAMN little heat when its 10 degrees outside.

-Quote-" No power steering, no power locks, no power windows, no cup holder, no heat, no cell phone jack.........Damn I love this car!"

When I looked like Dan Haggerty from "Grizzly Adams"and had my 65, being asked if I had any weed in traffic in CO a couple of times was funny.

[suckmyexhaust]

When I was working at my previous job, I always liked driving through this one neighborhood because it was 1) 25mph speed limit and 2) watching the kids play punch buggy always brought a good laugh especially when you hear "HEY! Punch Buggy! and watch the kid fall on the ground.

Others were when going up to BugJam, the cute goth girl giving me the peace sign and people always telling you stories about their previous VW's.

Good times.

It's funny, here in Portland VWs are still relatively common, so most people don't blink an eye...
Someone thought it was pretty weird once that I had to open the hood to fill gas in a '66 beetle. I got some strange looks. But that's in the Midwest, land of hungry road salt.

Flying down the highway with the big dogs in my buggy. The trophy wives surreptitiously checking me out while riding in the passenger seat of a big ass BMW or Mercedes Benz. The uptight hubby/boyfriend studiously staring straight ahead. I then pace them and when hubby/boyfriend guns his penis extention to get away from me. I just continue to stay glued to his side(thanks Chico ) That usually gets a smile or giggle from the trophy wife.
But the kids with their faces smudging the windows going apeshit in the backseat is priceless.

Favorite "reaction" is that of POS corvette driver going into convultions, twisting himself into a pretzel and nearly wrecking his vette while trying to catch up with me just to "say hi" with his middle finger after I've smoked him with my lowly Dormy!


See, it is true what they say: "It's not the equipment, it's how you use it!"

It's only happened a couple times but my favorite is "Do you want to sell it?".
I consider that the ultimate compliment.

[clayster89]

well when my friends all came to see me and my friend race i was in my '74 baja and my buddy was in a v6 mustang that everyone thought was badass well i ate his lunch in the 1/8 and all the people that came when i turned around and parked it and got out there eyes were bulging and the jaws were dropped and then i said wait till i get my 2165cc in her

"You gota a Porsche motor in that thing?"
(this is usually just after I spanked their V-8 in an "illegal, unsanctioned acceleration contest held on a public thoroughfare")
I usually just tell them "Nah, it's just a 1600 with a big bore kit"

(and a stroker crank, cylinder heads from hell, Engle 125 cam, Weber 48 IDA's, MSD, close ratio gearbox, and a buncha other shit, but i don't tell them that)

The best one, I think, was the red Mercedes 'vert (it was one of those new ones that says "Kompressor" on it, that's all I know) with the Yuppie in it, cruisin' with his lady. They pulled up to me at a stoplight, and he looked over and snidely told his wife/girlfriend "watch me SMOKE that little bug"... when they finally caught up to me a few lights later, he was as red as his Mercedes, and his wife/gf was givin' him all kinds of hell..
Or maybe when I raced the cop after the cover shoot of my car... he started it, and burned the tires off, and there was NO WAY I was taking that shit, so after he got the jump on me, I unloaded on the clutch, banged 2nd and 3rd, drove around him, and never looked back. WTF, HE started it... I saw the cop a few days later, and I honked my horn and waved to him, and he just waved his index finger and gave me one of THOSE looks.... priceless....
