Well, after test driving the new Convertible Beetle (and loving it), I find out that not only does it NOT come in the color I wanted (platinum gray), but the only one trimmed the way I wanted in the state of Texas was the ORANGE one I test drove. Ugh.

So I drove a Blue Lagoon Hard Top with Sunroof, leather, 1.8L Turbo engine, etc., etc., and decided it was the way to go. Of course, the fact that it was about 8 GRAND cheaper didn’t sour the deal!

I pick it up on Monday (after they’ve cleaned it up, installed the CD player and filled the tank with gas). I’ll post pictures once I’ve got it home. Too bad I have to go out of town for a week right after I get it…
