I'd love to have one of these, my dad had bugs when I was little and I remember us coming home from my uncles in south Carolina after about a foot of snow and the roads hadn't been plowed yet. My dad stopped driving and it turned out we had gotten off the road and were in the middle of a cotton field. My dad simply backed up until we found the road again and we were back on our way home

Anyone who races off road in a 150 mph 800 hp truck or car wouldn't be doing it if it weren't for these little guys.

My Dad took a 59 Beetle and cut it in half, removing 17 inches and then welded it back together. Big tires on the rear and trimmed the fenders. Got rid of the doors. We drove it as a dune buggy for 25 years. An amazing, go anywhere vehicle. Miss ya Herb.

Many times I drove my 71 Superbug around parked up 4wds to scared to take on a long patch of loose sand. I used to hit it at 40mph full noise and cruise it. Momentum is the key for 2wds. Such an easy and cheap vehicle to modify with a virtual endless number of add on parts and DIY build bits. Holley carb, extractors, HD shocks and a set of winter treds allround and you are having fun ! Fondest memories of my youth involve my bug. Love em !😎👍

Thanks guys from Australia for sharing your love of bugs. We grieve for your loss. Admire your strength in induring the loss of spencer. He was an inspiration for all of us. As you are for coming back from your injuries. Spencer would be proud of you. I lost my partner recently and know what you going through. Keep that passion going on your clips. Spencer was a lucky guy.

I remember when you could buy an old bug for under $500 put air shocks in cut away the fenders and put on a gnarly set of snow tires on the back of it and you were good to go anywhere!

Sending a baja bug through a mud puddle is one of the most fun things ever.

Bugs are pretty tuff little cars. So fun to drive. I'd love to have another one.

Nice! Collected them like 40yrs. ago for thrashing shale pits. If they blew up, it would take about an hour to have another motor in them. if memory serves me correct, you only needed a 13 +17 millimeter wrench to swap the motors. the no interference bottom pans seemed to be one of their greatest assets.

I used to drive a 1982 Ford bronco built for 4 wheeling. Lockers, lift, granny low, a built 351 Windsor... etc.

My buddy had a girlfriend with a completely stock vw bug.

It literally went everywhere I was able to even on and around the rubicon trail.

Blew my mind!

The guy in the blue but knew what to do! You have to hit those holes at a pretty good clip! VW bugs will plain and any little thing they can catch or grab will take them on through! Love VW bugs!😱😁😇🇺🇸🙌

A baja bug is like a roach you step on once, twice, three times, and then give your sandwich to cause IT JUST WONT DIE!!!!

I have a 73 I've turned into a Yamaha rhino body style with the plastic panels and a back seat with special built ATV wheels it rocks.

Reminds me of my childhood. My father and his best friend always used VW bugs as their hunting rigs. They would rip through some mud.

Man this brings back memories. My first car was a 10 year old 1965 Volkswagen Beetle. My mom had kept all my old jeans and sewed blue jean seat covers for it. Had it baked enameled cherry red, installed an 8track with a couple of 6x8” speakers and I put mud tires on the rear. Had lots of practice on ice blacktop and muddy backroads. Could take her pretty much anywhere and if we did get stuck, 2 or 3 passengers was enough to get us back on the road.
A friend of a friend was the town bully but I guess because I was so skinny I was not a perceived threat. One night he invited me out to climb this logging road with a huge hill. He was in his massive 4x4 dually pickup, pulled it over at the bottom of the hill and said I’d better park my bug ‘cause there’s no way it’d make it. I asked if his truck had been up and he said it had but it’s a bit sketchy. I said I’ll follow you up, he looked at me like I was crazy, laughed and said well OK!
I won’t lie, the hill was really steep in spots, it was raining and there were huge ruts dug out by high clearance trucks like his but I’d been down equally bad roads before and knew if I straddled a rut I could make it.
Once we got to the top he jumped out yelling Whoa! Whoa! Whoa! You did not just do that in a bug! He said he’d other friends with 4x4 get totally stuck when the road wasn’t half as bad as tonight. I said that was a piece of cake then asked if the big hill was coming up soon. We both laughed so hard we fell down in the rainy wet mud.

They can float they can run with a hole through side of case..easy to work on points plugs battery and valves by side of road..and get thirty to the gallon

Glad to contribute fuel to the fire. That's my first Baja starting around 1.56 into the video.

My grandfather and uncle used to race the baja 1000 my grandfather had a class 11 bug in the 60s, very cool for this video to pop up on YouTube
