It's a Beetle. I love it to death. I'm still working on it, bit by bit. It's a DAILY DRIVER, cause it's my only car.

It's not fast at all, BTW. 1600, but when the frame has 1/4" ground clearance, who wants to go flying down the roadway? :)

No Bags or Switches, Static Drop. Drags it's ass like a DOG.

Let me know what you think.

It's quite simple. I start the engine with the clutch in. I put the gear selector in 1st, and let out the clutch as I step on the gas.

This connects the engine to the transmission,therefore allowing me to put power to the rear wheels. In turn, the car moves forward, or in reverse depending on the gear.

Small pebbles may try to stop the car, but the car always tends to crush them immediately to avoid the slightest possible annoyances.

Driveways oft times like to catch the car.. and again, are thoughrally raped and put to bed.

Matter of fact, it's my only car. Hell yes I drive it everyday, and the roads go all kinds of ways around here.

hehehe cool! I know a number of people with cars that are like 3/8ths of an inch off the ground permanently that drive all over. When you have a cheap beater, who cares if the underside gets scraped up?

Personally, my permanently low cars have never been less than an inch and a half off the ground, but I'm an old fart and like the added ride quality. ;)
