By which I mean, of course, what’s wrong with putting wheels on a totally burned-out VW Fusca and towing it home instead of writing it off?
Who knows, maybe it’s a collectible.
“IDEAL PARA LAS VACACIONES//INTEGRARLO A COLECCIÓN//CLUBES DE AUTOMOVILES CLASICOS. HAY QUE VERLO!!” (You have to see it!)
Someone’s going to pay USD 12,500 for a 39 year old VW Beetle to take on vacation?
See for yourself. They’re not all that ridiculous, but the prices are still pretty horrific.
Because why not. (What’s a Fusca?)
Maybe it’s just me, but this paint job somehow kills the design of the vehicle.
I’ve wondered what they race at the autodrome between here and the airport, and the answer, this weekend, is fuscas, only they refer to them as escarabajos (beetles). Despite my fascination with them (example, example), I won’t be there. Other plans, and it will be cold.
The “Superescarabajos” are reportedly the largest and most popular category here. There will be 30 of them racing.
Why they call VW Beetles ‘fuscas’ in Uruguay remains a mystery to me.
You’ll see plenty of them around. The president of the country drives one.
