My neighbour's son's girlfriend has a late 90's vintage "new" Beetle. She comes over a lot so he can fix it. (He borrows my code reader a LOT) One day he said to me "next girl I date drives a Corolla."
Anyway, so there's a purple Beetle around a lot. I figured my daughter would go ga-ga over it. She said she didn't like them, and explained her "wish list" vehicle:
A 1989-ish style Toyota 4x4 pick up, lifted with 33" tires and a manual transmission.
Really? Huh? Why?
"Because no one expects a girl to have one, so that makes it super cool. With a stick, none of my friends will want to drive it. And it will get to crazy remote trailheads."
So, maybe the Beetle isn't a "girls car" anymore...
