Not quite 10 years yet. First year New Beetles were 1998 models that started selling in spring of 1998 if I recall. |

Two-point-slow? You're ripping me off, dude...  Don't forget to make good use of that little vase near the driver's seat.   Have fun!  |

That fuel guage looks a tad awkward because 1/2 doesn't look quite half (to match the tach?). I guess the red mark indicators mean you're running on fumes?
I miss the orange ones Or the Turbo S from the US. |

Any car that has a cute round eyed, smiley face of a front and comes with a flower vase as standard equipment is NOT marketed to the male of the species.  Now if it came with an available gun rack, then...  |

I miss the orange ones Or the Turbo S from the US. Actually, I've calculated that there is approximately 10-12 litres left when the red indicators are hit. The gauge does seem to move faster when it's down in that range, however. |
