    2012 Beetle Turbo

    Default Ermahgerd, Bertle!!!!

    On Thursday, I finally decided that I was no longer going to put up with the overall crappiness of my Turbo S. Those of you that know me, and those of you that worked on it, know that it was nothing but a nightmare for me since the day that I bought it. It had finally fallen into such a horrid state of disrepair that I had no choice but to rid myself of it.

    But what did I want for my next vehicle? I knew that I wanted to buy something newer, that was sensible, had a large amount of cargo space, had at least four doors, was rather slow to keep myself out of trouble, and had an automatic transmission. It looked as though the perfect option for me was a Ford Focus.

    So I bought this:






























    Year: 2012
    Make: Volkswagen
    Model: Beetle
    Sub-Model: Turbo
    Engine: 2.0L TSI
    Transmission: 6 Speed Manual
    Additional Options: Bi-Xenon HID Headlamps, 19” “Tornado” Wheels


















    Yeah, I may have strayed form my original plan a bit.

    This is my first brand new car, and I could not be happier with my purchase. It is absolutely amazing, and I am going to baby the hell out of it!

    Thanks!

    I actually graduated from college over 2 years ago and have been at my current job for 3+ years. I wouldn't have bought it if I couldn't afford it.

    No high fives, but I do get a lot of waves and thumbs up in traffic.
