Purchased this and will place in the garage for her lol. She's a fan of pink and Vw Beetles. Just to clarify it's a joke on her and I've already purchased her two new vehicles one of which she currently drives and loves.

@perrone1 she's going to love it as she has a suv currently and she can have the Beetle as her backup ride lol..

@modeldadeeee I always thought it was a good idea to have one of those Beetles in the trunk, as a spare.

@gdh lol I'm sorry I should have clarified. In NJ it can start out raining, afternoon scorching, evening freezing. So at one point you burn, then next you're cooled down lol..

I pulled the same crap on both of my daughters. I told my youngest if she graduated the US Merchant Marine Academy, I'd buy her a BMW... she got this model:
Then, my daughters were fighting over my old Bronco. I found that Eddy Bauer Edition in the same color combo and gave them each one of these:
As a postscript, my youngest finally talked me into giving her the Bronco. She had it shipped to Hermosa Beach, CA where she lives now and plans are to stuff a Coyote 5.0 into it sometime during a restoration project.

I'm sure your daughters love and appreciate you. And appreciate the gifts and fun between you. Great models guys.
