“Weather you’re going fast or not; you hit 70miles per hour in a stock bug, you’re holding on to dear life.” FACTS 🤙🏼🤙🏼

It’s great to see that the air cooled scene is alive, with social media I was able to hook up with other vw clubs just like it was in the 80’s. Great video

[@michaelcraven8205]

Nice clean Bug and very cool you built it yourself! I got my first one in 1981 and still roll’n . It’s great to see the younger gen keeping the scene alive. You rock young man!

[@chriscraft77022]

[@bobcarino9013]

“Your holding on for life”. So true and it’s the same exact reason why I love driving them 👍🏻

[@nturner6760]

[@SurfingwithBen]

[@jamesnlou]

Great looking car. Very similar colour to my 72 Beetle that's Zambezi green.

[@slyguyaction]

Nothing like a vintage Volkswagen. Iconic and a great car overall. Really good video and thanks for sharing...

[@bulldogbradford8081]

DOPE!!!!!!

[@williamburr3519]

good looking car, nice job.

[@cericson3426]

I like it the only thing I would do different is to pull the bumpers off unless it's required by law.
Always forget how small these things are until you see one in traffic with modern cars

[@VwRosstorations]

[@avomarkarian6187]

Great videos keep the good work

[@aphex14]

Awesome! Great to see the passion he has for it! Moreso, learning how to drive is his 1st Bug! I too had my 1st auto as a Bug, back in '87. Bought my '65 Standard for $900.00, saved it all up by flipping burgers at McDonald's!

[@IrishRooster86]

Great episode. Love the ride lad!! Peace out and VW on!!

[@aaronramirez6828]

What a nice looking car. That color is spot on!

[@Baywindowmafia]

Well done! Dope bug 👍💯

[@bugnut82]

So cool man! My first bug was a 69 when I was 16. I haven't put the keys down since either! My 62 bug is almost out of the paint shop, and I have dreams all the time about it. Some of my dreams are super realistic feeling, ill have a dream that my bug is finished and ready to drive, in the garage waiting for me. When I wake up I would feel super stoked! only to realize it was just another teaser dream. Oh well, soon enough. I love your rack! I have the regular roof rack, but I love the one you have. That bug is sick! You are such a cool cat, your passion is infectious. You remind me of Andy Anderson the skateboarder, check him out. He has the same passion you do, and a similar look as well.
