Volkswagen Type 2 Review



Seriously ...
   What the fuck were they thinking
   Oh wait it was the 70's They weren't thinking
   Anyways this is a pretty Popular model from the 70's made by Volkswagen to appeal to the Hippie/surfer Generation overall it worked and those big fat cats in Berlin were swimming in mountains of beautiful green cash and they deserved it I mean they designed the perfect car to have sessions to smoke weed  in The era in which everyone smoked weed so no wonder it grew insanely popular. Now you might be asking oh John tell us about the engine John tell us all about the specifications of this German designed car ... No you see this car looks like a gigantic log and I bet it runs like a gigantic log too I have never ridden in it and I don't intend to so that's just my opinion.

   Yeah I copied that from Wikipedia so what.

        Over all This car is just another car to be sold to the masses as a stylish car that is vintage and all that other shit, my Advice is ride it before you buy in fact don't even trust this review because I've never ridden it 

+ Lots of Space
+ Vintage
- looks like a log 
- Probably runs like a Log

  1. This is a great car, I had one as a surfer wagon in the 70's in Hamptons on the island in New York.

    It held 6 drunken surfers and the boards and was a party place.

    We did find out that it does not float in the ocean surf. YEA - we had some wonderful fun times!

    It did its job well and can switch lanes without touching the steering wheel. LOL!
