1st Annual Low Budget VW Show

Posted by ArmedGeek on Saturday, June 26, 2010 in VW

So this is how I spent my Saturday. I’m a little crispy now. I’m entirely too pale and pasty to be spending that much time in the sun.

Shitload of pics below…

I’d rather not bore you with a bunch of VW stuff, but I think this is cool enough for another VW post.

Classic VW Ad for the Ladies

Posted by ArmedGeek on Sunday, June 20, 2010 in VW

Here’s the small text at the bottom of the ad. You know, for the ladies.

Women are soft and gentle, but they hit things.

If your wife hits something in a Volkswagen it doesn’t hurt you very much.

VW parts are easy to replace. And cheap. A fender comes off without dismanttling half the car. A new one goes on with just ten bolts for $24.95 plus labor.

--

And a VW dealer always has the kind of fender you need. Because that’s the one kind he has.

Most other VW parts are interchangeable too. Inside and out. Which means your wife isn’t limed to fender smashing.

She can jab the hood. Graze the door or bump off the bumper.

--

It may make you furious, but it won’t make you poor.

So when your wife goes out window-shopping in a Volkswagen, don’t worry.

You can conveniently replace anything she uses to stop the car.

Even the brakes.

I ran across this picture on one of the VW boards. It really shows the efficient use of space in a VW Type 1.


Clicky the pic to make big.
