and a 1959 beetle

Since the toyota isn't Japanese anymore, the beetle, who is 44 jears older, drives much better than that squeeky toyota :-( So it's not old and certainly not Cool

Believe it or not, there is actually more interior space in a 1960's original than there is in that BMW monstrosity!

Isetta's are great, how is yours coming along? Gotta love that great big door on the front ^^

.................Hey Roger. Can you tell me about your '03 Corolla? I've been thinking about maybe buying a new one for my wife. They're made in that joint venture with GM factory in California, right? I could get her a low-end '03 Camry for about $16k at one of the dealers here but she wants ABS and an auto tranny which drives up the cost of a Camry to almost $20k. Besides, the leftover '03 Camrys are probably leftovers that don't have ABS but I still have to check on that.

TIA

It's a great vehicle, and it's really tough to rollover (for an SUV). Decent gas eficiency, a differential to die for, and when it's in 2WD mode, it's a FWD vehicle, so it's really easy to drive on dry pavement. I love the two beer can coolers on the dash, keeps a coke cold enough for as long as you have the A/C on.

Hi Tim,

My Toyota is not from GM but from the UK, since i'm from Europe. The car i owned prior to this one was also a corolla from '98......... made in Japan. The '03 has a lot of squeeks and resonance in the interior, the '98 on the other hand was perfect and made the japanese durability come through Of course the '03 drives better than the beetle: acceleration (1600cc,

110bhp), road performance, and so on, and so on. The '03 has 4 airbags, ABS, and can take a bigger impact,...BUT it has no fweem as you all call it so nicely. And it IS an image..... To my opinion: new cars from Japan, but older cars.............ACVW!!!!!!!!!!!

What I really want is a Messerschmidt mini-car, but I'm not even sure I am spelling it right so I'm not really qualified to own one.

My god! I've never, ever seen one of those IRL! I must live on a different planet! All that glass and chrome. Whew!

One of my little brothers had an old Beetle with rusted out floors for so many years that his kids became apprehensive riding in the rain. "Pick up your feet kids here comes a puddle!" was a refrain. Oh, and "Damn, won't start." :)

I had a '61 Crown Imperial, bright white, with white leather interior. 413 cubic inches of raw, Deeeetroit power. Pushbutton tranny, the works. I loved that car!

Had to change the motor in it, and bent two engine hoists before it was done!

What a beast.
