'98 Volkswagen New Beetle
When I heard the new beetle came out in 1998, I told my husband I wanted one. He said I wouldn't want a car that I couldn't test drive before I got it. I said, "Oh, yes I do," and I finally talked Lokey into accepting a deposit for the first yellow beetle that I could have. It took a couple of months, and I was thrilled when she arrived. These were the days that when you parked the Beetle and came back later it was covered with fingerprints. Everyone either pointed or waved when I drove by. As for my husband, the minute we got home with mine, he wanted one. We had to drive to Miami to buy his. His was a red diesel and mine was a yellow automatic.
