Uh, oh...going Jeep? I'll admit...after last weekend it's tempting. My buddy climbed a sandhill...so did the other guy in the Arctic Cat UTV....then gave me crap because my tub wouldn't go up.mgobaja wrote:thanks Ryan, Just needed something with a 3rd seat and fully enclosed with heat and A/C for the baby now,

Re: Glass bodied 1957 VW
Just bad timing. Not much is selling, if you can just hold tight it will be better. We are do for a good change in 2012.
