I mostly bought the VW to build a baja out of but it was too nice to chop it now is a resto project. I do enjoy a few european cars such as the rear engine VWs. Ford now owns Jaguar so that's not too bad. Germany has a good reputaion for engineering but some have shown to be lemons. Italian cars put too much emphasis on styling and little on dependability. Some UK cars are about the same, all style and little dependability. My Great grandmother immigrated from Germany so I don't feel too bad for owning a bug. Heck they made them for nearly 30 years! To keep myself even, I have a "Bite me, Ford boy" sticker on my Chevy and a "Piss on Chevy" sticker on my 92 LX 'vert. I just am not too impressed with those "2Flat 2Delirious" cars. My coworker has one of those Accords with the "Fart Can" pipe. I always have the urge to add an "ian" to the end of Accord with a black marker on his car but I think against it. It'd be funny to see a Honda Accordian!
