The negative side of having a slammed VW Beetle.

I'm torn on whether to sell my bug or not. I'll need a new project but don't know what. I also go into a little bit of detail about some of the negative aspects of having a slammed Volkswagen Beetle, such as the rear wheel bearings and turning radius. I talk some about narrowed beams and why they're important.

[@theortegas5502]

I currently have a 68 pretty low and gave it to my 16 year old daughter. She loves it. She is the coolest kid at her high school and doesn't even knows

[@ImnotgoingSideways]

There are 2 kinds of Beetle owners. 1)Those who love their car. 2)Those who regret selling it.

[@carscream1650]

I don't have any regrets so far. Just wish i had a bigger garage so i could start ripping this truck apart.

That Bug is better than money in the bank, but sometimes you have to thin the herd, for new toys. Do you have room to keep it, along with a new project? 👍

No. I barely have room for a new project without the bug.

@@carscream1650 How do you feel now?

[@dubworldvwadventures]

When you say more than it’s worth, be sure to check pricing in your area. Beetle prices have soared over the last two years. If you’d want another VW , know the market before selling this one . If you’d rather a different project, I say take the money and run!

[@carscream1650]

I don't think I sold it for more than it's worth. It's a really cool car, in a really nice market. The fact that I sold for what I asked for in such a short time means it was priced either right, or under value.

[@ianmirandacreative]

if you get a flat how do you jack it up?

[@carscream1650]

Good question. There are some square tube jack points. I made a part that inserts into those and joggles up so I could get a jack under it. I also made ramps to drive up on because a jack definitely doesn't fit even with good tires. I sold the car years ago though.

Dude I just sold mine. I’ve had it since I was 15 and I’m going to be 40 this year. It spent a lot of time in storage and was much like yours. I built it when the cal look was big. Bottom line was I didn’t feel as safe in it as I used to, and wouldn’t put my kids/family in it to go to a car show because of that. Hard decision, but I felt good once it sold and have made room for something better!!
