For those who want to read about a very heartfelt love story, stay glued onto this page. For while one may only be looking for some information on the VW parts that he or she needs, this page will give more. Hence, a real love bug story…

Deb Hartegan, a self-confessed Beetle lover from Melbourne City, said that her lifelong loyalty to the VW parts started since her high school days. As a matter of fact, even all her family members are just as happy with VWs as she is. She gave birth to twin brothers who, at their age of 22, have equally loved the Volks. One is driving a 1972 convertible Beetle, and the other one is sporting a 1966 bus. What is more interesting, is that Deb and her children have shared about thousands of dollars on these two vehicles. They wanted these VWs to be re-invented and to run a new road.

“Years ago, you could restore a VW pretty cheaply,” she said in an interview conducted by Florida Today. “To do a quality restoration today gets up there. By the time it’s done, it’s way over $20,000.”

While this may have cost a lot, car owners like the Hartegans are still very happy. For if others may find joy in getting toy pets and dolling them up, in this case, it’s a Beetle. The four months that the Hartegans allotted for Steve Pounds and the rest of his crew at Space Coast Imports is just right. Their Vws will be proudly showcased at the upcoming Volkstoberfest in Wickham Park.

“People restore cars for the nostalgia,” Pounds said in the same interview by Florida Today. “Almost everyone had a VW in their lives.” Well said Mr. Pounds, we couldn’t agree more. (source: floridatoday.com)

The automotive industry is now dominated by electrically-charged vehicles that promise to solve the great dilemma of oil price increase. Along with this advent came the goal to have less harmful emissions as well. These goals are easily met by the Beetle—thanks to Alaskan native Bart Grabman. Perhaps one may think that since the Beetle has already seized production, it could not possibly catch up with technology anymore. But with a little tweaking of the VW parts, the senior high school student proved us all wrong.

The 1971 Volkswagen bug was not magically converted into a 100% electric machine. Grabman merely used magic, for he really worked on the VW parts to turn the Beetle into the 100% electric machine. Story was, he came upon a certain kit on the Internet that was said to have all the parts that were necessary to convert the bug. This labor of love only cost him a good $3,500—a sweet deal for a price of having a gas-free Beetle beauty. Now that is a really genius way to show your Beetle love.

There are so many ways to show our love for the Beetle, and we can either flaunt this love, or just ride with it. Each and every Beetle has come a long way from its original roots in being Hitler’s ideal transportation during his dictatorship. Today, the Beetle can either be a sign of love, the Woodstock, a carefree life, or even Bumblebee or Herbie. By simply optimizing its VW parts, the Beetle can be more than just another four-passenger ride. Either way, we all show a bit of ourselves in every Beetle that we drive because a Beetle is just what we are—unique, and and ideal. Their VW parts could be easily cultivated to enhance their features too.

Here are some cool, pimped out Beetles that could be seen on the Internet, and they all look really swell.
