Volkswagen, Blue, 1973, Beetle, Bug on 2040-cars
Millersport, Ohio, United States
Was rebuilt, and is in the process of still being completely restored. New engine was put in in 2010, has 30,000 miles on it as of 6/6/14. Miles on speedometer says 97,000 or somewhere around that. New shocks were put on 5/5/14. Most parts on the car are either completely original or brand new. The things that are original, are the only things I have had to fix over the 4 years. The interior is a bit incomplete, it has rubber floor mats, and the seats are dry rotted. The headliner was installed in 2010, and it still looks great. The exterior was freshly painted in 2010. It has a couple dings, ad rusts spots, from everyday wear and tear. the rear deck lid has a little ding and rust spot, where I Backed into someone. The car is beautiful overall, runs great, I drive it on a daily Basis. The tires are only a year old, but only have about 1500 miles on them. This car is manual, 4 cylinder. Runs like a champ. The car has the original stick shift in it, and the running boards seem to be from a 1974 beetle style, but they were put in brand new in 2010. The windshield wipers runs off the spare tire and whatnot. There is a blower motor in it for the heat, which works fabulous once you get the car going! The exhaust was put on new in 2011, but has normal wear and tear. Spark plugs, distributer, points, coil, air filter were all just changed 5/5/14. In the city it gets about 20 mpg, and highway about 30 mpg. I drive it on a daily basis, so I know it is a reliable car.

Editors' Choice: Top Five 2013 Geneva Motor Show Debuts
Fri, 08 Mar 2013We've returned from a very busy week in Switzerland, and in going back over all of our 75 stories from the Geneva Motor Show, our editors have gathered up their personal favorite debuts from the European expo.
The wonderful thing about the Geneva show is just how wide of an array of vehicles are on display - everything from funny little one-off EVs to the most exotic of supercars to, well, truly ridiculous displays of coachbuilding. And because of that, this list of our editors' favorites might not be as predictable as you think.
But we don't want to give anything away just yet. Scroll down to have a look at our team's favorites from Geneva.
China sticking to its guns on EVs for the future
Mon, Apr 27 2015Automakers are obviously free to develop whatever next-gen, zero-emissions tech that they want. However, if a company wants to get on the good side of the Chinese government, that strategy better include some plug-in vehicles. The authorities there are lending major support to plug-ins at the moment, and its forcing the auto industry to play along. According to Bloomberg, Toyota, Volkswagen, Hyundai, and BMW are all launching dedicated EV brands with their joint venture partners, and as many as 40 electric models could hit the Chinese market this year alone. However, analysts don't think the vehicles are going to sell well. Instead, the launches are essentially a way for companies to play nice with the government and help get the approval to build factories in the country. Take Toyota as an example. The company is pushing the future of hydrogen hard with promotional films for the Mirai and engineers talking down fast-charging EVs. Still, the Japanese automaker is getting ready to launch two EV brands in China with its joint venture partners, according to Bloomberg. China's push for alternative fuels has been happening for a while, but it really kicked into high gear last year. The government has set a goal to improve fleet-wide economy by 40 percent by the end of the decade in order to spend less importing oil and for the population's health. The plan has shown some success so far with hybrid and EV sales growing early in 2015.
