New Jersey�s Route 22 Limousines is selling this 1999 Volkswagen Beetle limousine. The six passenger vehicle was built in 2001 and is finished with a white exterior and grey leather interior with TV, minibar, mirrored roof and custom lighting. Imagine the look on the face of Daddy�s Little Princess when you bring this home to take her to the Senior Prom...
And imagine the look on the face of Daddy�s Little Princess�s mother when you try to explain the US$45,000 price tag. Sure, it may seem a little steep at first, though presumably Route 22 spent a fair amount of money lengthening and customizing this...uh...�unique� vehicle.
It occurs to me though, adding all that additional weight to a New Beetle is going to seriously impede the performance of its 2.0 L engine, especially when mated to the standard 4spd automatic transmission. You know what I mean: 0 to 60 mph (0 to 100 km/h) in four hours and a minimum turning circle of a mile (1.6 km). I hope Route 22 upgraded the brakes, at least, or the new owner is going to be in for some fun times on wet roads.
Though I suppose, unless you�re carrying the President of the United States, a limousine doesn�t really have to be fast or nimble: it just has to be big, comfy and have a well stocked minibar. I won�t bother asking what you readers think of this thing; unless you�re a bride-to-be or a prom attendee you�ll probably think this thing is daft as it looks. I could be wrong though...
