For the love of god. Then again, I'd have no problem getting beat by a Beetle, because at the end of the day I still get to drive home in an S2K!

Has anyone else noticed the new beetle driving really, really fast (~100) on highways. It seems like I see them all the time.

That would be an ultimate sleeper though, especially with a girl at the wheel. "Oh what a cute car, you want to race? " WTF!!??

I think the ULTIMATE sleeper was the guy with the P.O.S. Dodge Caravan with the Twin Turbos. . . I recall his 1/4 mile times were in the mid 11's. . . Definitely WTF!!

It's just as well. If you ever caught up with it, you'd have a serious case of bug splat!
