You know when you own a beetle/van/vw when...

[Chris]

....you can't find tyres

[Blitzkrieg]

..you have an ongoing project that's in it's 2nd year.

[JamesD]

...when its really windy you walk (or cycle) to work and pretend its because you need the excercise or want to save petrol...

This one really only applies to those of us that only own a ACVW and have no other form of transport.

Tell me about it, I can hardly keep the car between the lines on the high way

[Andrej]

The manne all come over to check out your immaculately restored acvw and ignore the latest and greatest MB, BMW, etc, etc, parked right next to you.

[Sambabus]

You spend youre rest stops with the bonnet open,trying to guess the tempreture of the engine by the amount of time you can keep youre hand on the dip stick.

Or youre back cramps up becuase of the way you have to sit to mis that spring sticking out of the seat.

bwahahah did that today, hahahahaha!!

LOL @ BLitz and Sambabus! Had the heat blisters to prove it too, not all the engine tin was in!

[Pine]

...you look at the oil spots on the driveway and actually worry if you don't see fresh ones

[Chris]

.........you don't realy know what your car is worth.

[karmakoma]

You start counting the cost of items you have to buy for the house/flat/place of residence in ACVW parts/car prices

That new geyser is how much ? - thats the same price as that beetle Chris has for sale!

So funny - watching a fifth gear rerun - Johnny says, I have been to this show more times than I have taken my beetle to be welded. - thats how you know you own a ACVW!

Look at the peoples mouth moving and facial expressions when you turn left with you semaphore beetle as they were waiting for you to go straight.

Driving with brights and nobody(not even BMW) flash you.
