Just wanted to tell everyone thanks for the great time today and the good food,

Ready for summer on the reservation, woods, or beach season. This rail is fully street legal as a VW Buggy. It is not riding on a VW Beatle salvage title, it has a full DOT VIN and is licensed, titled, and insured as a Volkswagen Buggy.

My brother Jeff got rear ended on the way to work this morning by a woman driving a Jaguar (sound familiar?)  He has been driving mine to work all week.  I gotta say I'm glad it was his and not mine.  Looks like he's gonna need a new decklid, apron, turn signal, and exhaust.  He's having problems shifting into 2nd now too.  Could be a tranny mount issue.  Luckily he fixes shit like that for a living.

Rare Air has posted the results from their show.  Kusten Kreuzers took home 13 trophies!  Great job guys!
