Roof mount VW Bug???

[bus kid]

your biggest concern will be finding roof racks to fit the contour of the bug roof. From passenger side to drivers side to the middle is about 3 inches higher from the rain gutters so you will need racks with tall legs or mounts.
As for the daily driver if you keep it stock and maintain it, a bug will run forever but the moment you start upgrading it becomes more and more maintenance. I have had a few. if you see one you like be sure to look under the battery tray for rust and around all the windows. if there is rust that is through around the windows walk away unless you can weld, know someone or are willing to drop some cash to have it fixed.

2332 with a turbo I got about 10 mpg if I babied it. I took it to LJ once and had to stop for gas twice on the way down and twice on the way back.

I drive a full size truck now because its cheaper, way more comfortable, power windows, AC and heat are a sacrifice you will make to drive a VW, But you will look cool! if you ever have any questions feel free to PM me.
