Pretty bug!

Post by ColonelPanic »

Check it out, ain't she special? The Mrs. and I spotted this last weekend. Yup, this car's paint probably isn't stock, if I had to guess. Whoever painted it did a good job on it... That color really looked good on that car.

Yup, stock chameleon paint option. I have seen a purple/blue one and a rust/green color too. Pretty cool, but I think I would get tired of it after a while.

IMO, New Beetles come in the best colors! They keep coming out with new colors, keeping the Beetle fresh.Also, nice pic, CP. Thanks.

But he was the one driving who had to catch up to them so I could take it.)That's cool that it's a stock paint job...maybe GM could take a cue from them...I think I'd buy a car in that color! It was really pretty.

At first, we thought she thought we were stalking her, anyone paying attention should have thought that. She came flying out from the middle of nowhere and blew past us, we saw the car and figured we had to get a picture... So, I had to really get those little hamsters under the hood of my car running hard so we could get up to 80-something to catch up with her to take these pictures. But sure enough once we got there, she was too self absorbed to acknowledge what was going on around her so we were in the clear. And oh yeah guys, I never suspected that being a factory paint job! That's pretty sharp!

Great pic CP and kari. I would have never guessed that is a stock color option.
