Note: I write up driving impressions of virtually every car I photograph, within a couple of days of the drive, so everything is fresh in my memory. Occasionally, because of the constraints of format (i.e., buyer’s guide), the prepared text doesn’t run. Now, thanks to the joys of the blogosphere, it can.
Sit inside, and the door sills come up to your shoulders; for what is ostensibly a small car, it’s got plenty of room. The warm colors – terracotta and cream – help brighten things up considerably. The seats put you in place, but offer no additional lateral support. The single standard gauge, the speedometer, is slightly unnerving – it’s big and legible, but shouldn’t there be something else to look at? – though the clear red shift indicator markings double as a tachometer. The only other gauge in the cabin is the optional electric six-volt gas gauge.

"WorldWide Day of the VW Beetle" or "Drive your VW Beetle to work day".
The date of June 22nd was chosen in part for its historical significance to the Beetle. This date, commemorates the day in 1934 when the developmental contract for the VW Beetle was signed.
From this original celebration, Drive Your VW to Work Day has evolved. Through the combined efforts of VW clubs and enthusiasts alike, this day has grown to become a popular event for many owners of this much-admired vehicle. The event not only now pays tribute to the Beetle, but the entirety of the Volkswagen line as well. All models of VW are urged to be driven on this day.
