Omaha, Nebraska, United States

1965 vw bug driver... this is a good running bug that has been coverted to 12 volt that I used as a daily driver for a couple of summers...still a very original car with lots of patina from paint chips to blemishes and some peeling and dents....odometer is over the 100 ......I changed the shifter guide and put in storage last winter where it sat mostly to the end of summer into the fall.. I drove it home and drove 1/2 dozen times, shiter could still use adjusting... one morning it would not start and that is wher we are at right now.. it does not make a click when you turn the key...I assume it is the battery or something with a wire connection, or worse case a starter....anyway, I have decided to list it for sale in as is condition....if it warms up I may try and put a charge on the battery....the pics make the car look nicer than it is...it is a survivor car that has not had any type of restoration.....it has an adjustable front beam, and the car has been lowered in the past...it has the push out rear windows, radio delete.....lots of flaws and chips in the paint that is very worn but still holds a shine......the window regulators are sticky and wore out as are the door hinges and strikers.... the running boards are rusty and need to be recovered... I thought of replacing them but am afraid the rockers would need to be replaced if i was to start taking bolts off...the heater channels are not funtional due to the fact they were full of holes..... the floor pans have been patched over the years and the passenger side floor is pretty bad... but the patches are water tight and I used the bug for a driver,..... so my only concerns were with keeping the interior water tight... It does have a new carpet installed a few years back.... the dash and the headliner are very original as are the door panels....thr front seats have some old vw covers on them and the rear seats have a fabric over them..the exhaust will need some work with a few of the pipes rusting.....see pics.......anyway, nice running car and is clean inside, what you see is what you get...good driver for someone wanting to get into a VW... but due to rust issues this may not be a canidate for a restoration but I guess that is my opinion ...just a good survivor car to drive and enjoy as it is.... I drove it often and used it to carry my bikes when I would go cycling as why you see the bike rack.....this is being sold as is no warranty...the value of this car is somewhere between $2000 to $3000...so please don't over bid expecting some great deal on a bug......I am willing to help with loading on a trailer... I would not recomend driving this car any great distance at all, nor driving until you work out any bugs it may have.... so plan on having it towed home..... payapl payment of $80 at close of auction....balance can be paid in person when picking up the car, or if buyer is out of state car will not ship until check clears bank...I reserve the right to end the auction at any time....

The Volkswagen Group switches official language to English
Wed, Dec 14 2016The Volkswagen Group can't be fairly thought of as entirely German anymore, so the news that the company is switching its official language to English to help attract managers and executives is a rational, if surprising, decision. While many VW Group companies are still staidly German in character and culture, consider the other companies that it controls: Bentley (British), Bugatti (French), Ducati and Lamborghini (Italian), Skoda (Czech), Scania trucks (Swedish), and SEAT (Spanish). Not to mention the large Volkswagen Group of America operation, which constructs cars in Chattanooga, TN. Volkswagen's explicit motivation is to improve management recruitment – making sure the company isn't losing out on candidates for important positions because they can't speak German – and that's inherently sensible in a globalized economy. Particularly considering, like it or lump it, that English is the lingua franca of said global economy. It also should make it inherently easier to communicate between its world-wide subsidiaries and coordinate operations. It's hard to say for sure if this will have any impact on the consumer, although it's easy to see the benefits if, say, VW Group hires some American product planners or engineers and they push for features and designs that more closely suit American needs. After all, the US is a hugely important market for any manufacturer, and so the switch to English almost certainly has something to do with the outsized influence of the US in the global economy. And there doesn't seem to be a downside from a purely rational perspective, although it could mean that the Group's corporate culture becomes less German. Whether that's a good or a bad thing depends on your perspective.

Which electric cars can charge at a Tesla Supercharger?
Sun, Jul 9 2023The difference between Tesla charging and non-Tesla charging. Electrify America; Tesla Tesla's advantage has long been its charging technology and Supercharger network. Now, more and more automakers are switching to Tesla's charging tech. But there are a few things non-Tesla drivers need to know about charging at a Tesla station. A lot has hit the news cycle in recent months with regard to electric car drivers and where they can and can't plug in. The key factor in all of that? Whether automakers switched to Tesla's charging standard. More car companies are shifting to Tesla's charging tech in the hopes of boosting their customers' confidence in going electric. Here's what it boils down to: If you currently drive a Tesla, you can keep charging at Tesla charging locations, which use the company's North American Charging Standard (NACS), which has long served it well. The chargers are thinner, more lightweight and easier to wrangle than other brands. If you currently drive a non-Tesla EV, you have to charge at a non-Tesla charging station like that of Electrify America or EVgo — which use the Combined Charging System (CCS) — unless you stumble upon a Tesla charger already equipped with the Magic Dock adapter. For years, CCS tech dominated EVs from everyone but Tesla. Starting next year, if you drive a non-Tesla EV (from the automakers that have announced they'll make the switch), you'll be able to charge at all Supercharger locations with an adapter. And by 2025, EVs from some automakers won't even need an adaptor. Here's how to charge up, depending on which EV you have: Ford 2021 Ford Mustang Mach-E. Tim Levin/Insider Ford was the earliest traditional automaker to team up with Tesla for its charging tech. Current Ford EV owners — those driving a Ford electric vehicle already fitted with a CCS port — will be able to use a Tesla-developed adapter to access Tesla Superchargers starting in the spring. That means that, if you own a Mustang Mach-E or Ford F-150 Lightning, you will need the adapter in order to use a Tesla station come 2024. But Ford will equip its future EVs with the NACS port starting in 2025 — eliminating the need for any adapter. Owners of new Ford EVs will be able to pull into a Supercharger station and juice up, no problem. General Motors Cadillac Lyriq. Cadillac GM will also allow its EV drivers to plug into Tesla stations.
VW debuts Get Happy Super Bowl ad
Mon, 28 Jan 2013
Brace yourself for another tidal wave of Super Bowl commercials. Volkswagen has released its spot for this year's big game. Set to air during the second quarter, the Get Happy spot follows one jubilant office worker as he makes his way through the day, spreading joy wherever he goes. The source of his happiness? A Volkswagen Beetle, of course. Now, if you're wondering why a gaggle of white guys are running around on your screen with Jamaican accents, it will help to know the spot is part of a larger Get Happy campaign featuring Jimmy Cliff.
The first ad in the series featured the artist singing his rendition of "C'Mon, Get Happy," complete with a little help from some notorious unhappy YouTube stars. You can take a look at the new ad before it airs below, along with the complete press release for a little more background.
