Answers
1)   No...it was the classic Beetle. - Crying tears of geek joy.

2)   It's the Volkswagen Beetle, traditionally yellow ones. - Spencer

3)   It's the Beetle! - Julie

4)   I agree with you, it's the VW beetle. - Wilson

5)   it is the old vw bug. However, depending on the rules of the game, if you see an old bus, that's a double slug bug and they get to punch you twice. - Dude

6)   I've always associated the term Slug Bug with the Beetle. As a huge VW enthusiest I do get heavily offended by people calling my cars Slug Bugs, but I have to remember that they're not exceptionally fast. - Aircooled Chick

will spaying wd40 on my engine help anything?...  will spaying wd40 on parts of my engine help performance or anything

Answers
1)   It will not improve performance in any way shape or form...it will however create a huge fire hazard. - Kenny

2)   the only thing it will do is ease the work and keep dirt off and keep it clean. It will not help performance. - warlock

3)   dont do that - shuman57

4)   it helps in water proofing and preventing rust, but not any performance.. - SVOMAN

5)   No. There would be a bit of a fire hazard but in terms of lubrication all of the bearings and such are sealed to keep out road dirt and debris so you'd gain nothing really. - Travis

Question 3
Volkswagen Passat 2009/2010?...  Are volkswagen cars good?? I recently looked at an 09 and a 10 and loved how they look. But i am not too worried about looks. The 2009 is gonna cost me an even 25,000....is that a good deal?? and the 2010 came out 1,000 dollars cheaper than the 09, and the salesman doesn't know why. But I need a new car. I live in Fl and might be traveling up north for school in 1-2 years. So, is the car reliable? How is mileage? And How is repair and cost? Or should I look into a Honda Accord?? Any other suggestions, I am looking for a car in the 21,000 range...Thank You!

Answers
1)   excellent cars but get a good VW specialist to look after it, american mechanics can ruin a german car in an hour - Harley Drive

2)   The passat is excellent. any passat newer than 05 will be very reliable. any reliability issues you may have heard pertains to the older ones. VW raised prices in 06 on the passat and sales dropped. thats probably the reason for the price drop. 09 or 10 has free maintenance up to 30000 miles. also it has a 10000 mile service interval instead of 5000. mileage will be in the mid 20s up to 30 mpg. you will enjoy this car over any other make. compare details like the gaps in the panels and interior finish. the passat blows the accord out of the water. - MUSTANGGT351

3)   Almost Any VW murders a Honda Accord when you compare. Everything about a VW, from the way it handles, performs, and looks is just better in every way to a Honda Accord. When you throw in the fact that the Passat is one of the best cars VW makes then its not even a real choice. - Mike

Question 5
VW 2002 Beetle Warning Light?...  While I was driving today, a yellow light came on below my "trunk is not latched" light in my car. It is a circle, with 3 dashes on each side, but sort of like arcs. At first I turned off my car then back on and it went away. Later it didn't. It was the only light on. Help?

Answers
1)   Sounds like the brake light. Got a picture? Did you look in the owner's manual? - djaca70

2)   This sounds like the brake pad warning light. Your brake pads are nearing the end of their useful like and will need to be replaced soon. Have your brakes inspected at the next opportunity. - David

3)   might be your heated rear screen. - Pete
