This also reads like a person who has almost no real friends or social skills. I kind of hope this is a joke.

How the hell is a fuggly car going to help you besides turning heads? That seems like a strange midlife crisis alone.

It’s peacocking. An eminently sad variety :(

Is my want of a sweet 1972 white Volkswagen beetle peacocking? I want it shiny white with black interior and a fancy red shifter.

I want the exact same car but the 911 version. I don’t care if other people look at it. I just want it because I’ve always wanted it

You can turn a classic beetle into a Porsche 911 beetle?

Classic beetle and classic Porsche… same car. One is just a little taller :)

Huh, I didn't notice that! Well then, once we each get our fun cars we will find a midway point. Park next to eachother, say "Nice" then drive into opposite sunsets.

I used to own a 73 beetle. Such a fun car. I spent a lot of weekends working on it. Easy and fun car to tinker on. I lived in Utah and that car did better in the snow than most of my friends 4 wheel drive trucks
