Car Forum / Volkswagen / Air Cooled Volkswagen Cars / October 2005Did you notice ?
Since gasoline prices have sky rocketed the number of ACVWs that are on the road now? Maybe it's just me but everyday I see more VWs out and about that aren't local club members. They must have been garaged are hidden in a barn or something. Oh well .just wondering if anyone else had seen more VWs running around in your part of the country. :) Be Cool.....AIRCOOLED !!

I read an article a few weeks or so ago that said that gas would have to stay at around $5.00 per gallon for a year to finally persuade Yuppie America to trade in the Suburban for something more fuel efficient. > I read an article a few weeks or so ago that said that gas > would have to stay at around $5.00 per gallon for a year to finally > persuade Yuppie America to trade in the Suburban for something more > fuel efficient. ........Even then, a lot of them would be storming the boardroom of Exxon/Mobil's headquarters with torches and pitchforks. If you point out to these brainiacs that the USA has only 5% of the world's population but is consuming 25% of the world's fossil fuels, they look at you like you're insane. > ........Even then, a lot of them would be storming the boardroom of > Exxon/Mobil's headquarters with torches and pitchforks. Nah. A REAL YUPPIE would own stock in Exon. Exxon. Whatever. Its hard to say whats going on around here I'm still getting a new customer about everyday. But it does seem I have more people stopping in looking for bugs or for the most part everyone seems to want ghias. > Since gasoline prices have sky rocketed > the number of ACVWs that are on the road now?

What I notice around Seattle area is when we get snow, the bugs and buses come out from everywhere! It's like the old days - they are simply all over the place. Snow goes away, so do the ACVW's! Next snow, they're baaaacckk! I can't see anybody wanting to buy a bug for gas mileage! Or a bus- 19-21mpg isn't good, but then I don't think I got over 12 with the old Suburban!-BaH |
