Customer Reviews

a fun read

At first I was weary that this book was simply trying to capitalize on the recent renewal of popularity of the bug, but I was pleasantly surprised. The pieces are well written, many of them downright hilarious. If you are a fan of the car, or of sincerely humorous writing, this is a good book for you.

Cruisin' in style

Hey, if you like Bugs as much as I do, then this book is for YOU! The great pictures gave me some ideas to customize my machine. It should be ready by summer so I can hit VA beach in style and pick up all the ladies I can carry- just like last summer! Later 'yall.

Recommended reading for VW Bug all fans & owners.

All who have owned and love VW Beetle cars will find this a fine keepsake: a celebration of the bug which packs in photos with memoirs and a fun set of recollections of owners. My Bug will appeal to any with a fond memory of their 'bug years' as well as new fans of the model.
