About
2001 VW New Beetle Turbo
This is the newest addition to our household, an Isotope Green (limited edition) Volkswagen New Beetle turbo. It is pretty much stock for now and will stay mostly stock since it's my daily driver.

The color is called "Isotope Green", it was a limited run of 2000 back in 2001. The color is very similar to what typical glow in the dark paint looks like, a very pale green that gets brighter as it's surroundings get darker.
This is a GLS Turbo model so it has a fully loaded interior (heated leather, heated mirrors, power everything, etc) and the 20V 1.8 turbo motor that has put VW back on the map.
I've wanted one of these for 6 or 7 years now, it feels really cool to finally have one!
