I'm not an ******* VW purist, I'm an ******* car enthusiast that believes slamming your car is just as bad as putting a big erector set wing and "altezza" tail lights on your car.

I respect you if you are truly enjoying the car as a piece of artwork because of the Beetle's natural shape rather than the fact that its rusted and slammed.
Car enthusiasts generally are all about all cars, not just some cars or these and not others. If you truly are a car enthusiast open your mind and look at these cars for what they are. The beetle is a piece of artwork, but the slammage and rust will win in my heart over a prefectly painted example of the car sometimes, and sometimes it will not. Honestly driving your car around on the ground and with tons of rust is a LOT different that throwing altrezzas and a big wing on your car. But all in all a lot of people find it very unatractive as well.

Also judging by the slamming statement, that this is unpractical as well, since it is VERY low to the ground.



People slam their cars for many reasons, appearance, performance, etc. Many supercar companies have their cars as low as they will go without completely destroying the underside of the car. Their reason is performance, many ratrod/vw/etc, guys slam their cars for appearance. Its not the same, but at the same time it is. Its all about what people like. Just enjoy a car for what it is: a reflection of whoever owns it, and a machine to get you from point a-b, or pleasure, or whatever you use it for.
