Mine is red, but the doors and stuff is white. It looks pretty good. It could be painted, but then I would worry about it getting scratched so it will probably be left the way it is for paint. I bought it in Issaquah from a young guy. Doesn't sound like you owned it judging by the color. I was just out driving it around. There is a field nearby that everyone uses for horses and quad riding so I had to go buzz around there. Then I came home and rode in our cow pasture. I've got a good mud pit going. Aunty it really does seem to glide across the mud if you hit it fast. I had the window down and mud came through the window and hit me. Sure is a fun car for $800.
Aunty I'm not aware of this group your son is in. I'd like to find a local group of baja bugs. About 4 years ago while I was motorcycle riding I remember seeing a group of about 10 bugs out on some trails. Seemed like fun to me!
