I've decided to sell the Jeep. Docs told me I'm not supposed to wheel it anymore so I think it's time to let her go. After Chris finishes his Bug, we'll put my baby up for sale and start looking for his next project.

And I get to choose because it will be mine. Which should I choose?

Squareback...

That squareback is hot. Somehow, someway...it is so gangsta.

I would have said get the Bug, it's always been my dream car. But looking at the squareback, tough call

Let me be the voice of practicality and point out that you can haul way more people/stuff in that cool red car.

Personally, I don't think you can go wrong with any of the old VW's! But I'd go for the Squareback, it's much more practical.

Hey Tiny,

I'd go for the Karmen Ghia. But only because Mel Brooks used it as a character name.

But if I was really forced to choose... I'd go for a series 1 XJ6!:D

Regards

The squarebacks are a lot rarer. That's a minus if you need some part only it uses, but some the most uncool vehicles of their time become retro-cool.

Think Rambler ... well, maybe not.
