It’s the Saturday before Easter and the aging but generally reliable Jen’s UFO is cruising down I-75 approaching Corbin Kentucky fuel gauge on E and I need to stop before the road gets hilly and exits fewer. My wife and I were driving one of my nieces to surprise her grandfather for Easter so she could finish an interview of him for a college course. I put on my turn signal, enter the exit lane, and decelerate normally as we approach the intersection at the bottom of the ramp. There is an 18 wheel truck waiting at the light and I ease to a stop behind it, waiting on the light to change green. The radio is on, the girls talking, and my phones GPS politely giving me instructions on how to get back on the highway I’ve just gotten off. The light at the intersection turns green and the truck begins to pull away. I lightly press the accelerator, and… nothing.
Like anyone who’s had a first car, or first new car the 2001 New Beetle was both for my wife. She was still my girlfriend back then and we lived in downtown Chicago. We had gone several years without a car and only using public transit to get around as soon after we met my first new car (a 1988 Cavalier Z24) had been totaled in a T-bone accident on Chicago’s south side.Jen knew she wanted a New Beetle in 1997 when they debuted, but we didn’t need a car living downtown, and with rent and parking cost it was easier to go without. In the spring of 2001 our lives were changing and we began to need a car so she did what most first time car buyers do. First time buyers see a car they want and find one for sale and buy it. The only real research that went into the project was color, power plant, and transmission. The transmission was easy to choose. Jen having never learned the mysteries of the manual growing up; so her choice of automatic was made. Power plant; the diesel sounded like a truck, the turbo came with an optional 4 speed automatic but with a 5 grand premium, so 2 liter auto it was. Then the color; Black, Blue, Red or White were all to plain. Silver and Bright Blue were too boyish, and it’s hard to drive a Bright Yellow car in a city full of Yellow Cabs. In the early 2000’s the internet age was still new, and just like the Space Age before it, had its effect on names, and when VW decided to paint their already quirky car a quirky metallic green they decided not in fact to call it metallic green, but Cyber Green.
“I want that one.” She said pointing to the green car just off the truck still wearing its protective white vinyl wrap. The New Beetle was the perfect city car. Small, decent MPG, a hatchback to load up at IKEA, and that green made it easy to spot in parking lots full of drab primary colors. Sure people with legs couldn’t actually fit easily in the back seat, sure it didn’t have a lot of power, but the MK1 New Beetle and its contemporary compatriot the Plymouth Prowler started the retro car revolution that brought us all the quirky comebacks; PT Cruiser, Chevrolet HHR, and SSR. So without much contemplating; she bought it.
Suddenly the couple who had gone years without a car, had a lot of places to go; the suburbs mostly. It was on one of these suburban trips that we went to a friend’s house for a party. It was a bright sun, big blue sky day; typical July in the Midwest sort as we pulled up sunroof open and windows down that Jen’s Beetle got its name.What the hell is that?” We heard as we came to a stop.
“It looks like half an apple” Said one.
“No, look at that green! It looks like a UFO!” said another.
Everyone laughed.
