First of all let me thank you for taking time to read this article. Hopefully we both receive from this article.

How many times have you or some one you know gone on a vacation only to discover that the vacation turned out to be far less then an enjoyable time. The older movies staring Chevy Chase is a comedy about a family that goes on vacation and everything goes wrong, of course, the outcome turns out great, but for many people vacations are stressful. Where do I go? Is it worth the money I am going to spend? What do I need to take with me? Your vacation can be a joyful experience.

What do you like to do on family vacations? Go to the beach or spend a relaxing week in the country? Maybe you like like camping or visiting. Whatever you enjoy, vacations are suppose to be a time to reconnect with those you are spending time with. For you are a parent it is a time to spend some valuable time with your kids. IF you kids are teens you know that is not a easy task. If this vacation is just the two of you, it should be a time to build a closer bond. It's important to keep the communication lines open. Stats tell us if teens have a close relationship with their parents they are less likely to get in trouble.

Like the old saying those who eat together stay together. While vacations should be a time of being open. But we realize that just because you are now on a holiday it does not mean everyone is now close and cuddly. Start this vacation with a positive attitude. Ask yourself and those you are with to think of something that make them happy. Be up front tell each other what you hope to get out of this holiday. I can remember going on a holiday with a few people and what I thought I wanted to do was lay on the beach and read. Now to some others that is not what they wanted to do. If each of you know what the others expect you can avoid some problems. Find out what the kids would like to do and eat and plan accordingly. While even teenagers need boundaries, it is important for parents to try to avoid needless confrontation. Explain why you make the decisions you do and show them positive attention.

Find out from you partner what they accept from the vacation. Everyone can achieve what they desire if thing are up front and planned.

Never go on a holiday with the idea that I need not plan or do anything. Sometimes it works well for a teenager to take a special friend along on family holidays.

Always keep in focus the purpose for this family vacation. Kids will be happier on family vacations if they have snacks, drinks, and entertainment. Few kids enjoy a long ride in the car! If you are travelling by car make the time together in the vehicle less boring by playing some game. I know a family who plays punch buggy. What this game is whoever see a volkswagon beetle and calls out bunch buggy and hits a person on the arm. Remember Taking a holiday should produce positive lasting experiences.

Documentary Inspires Volkswagen Beetle Rebuilding

With reviews ranging from the very negative to the so-so, the film Dust to Glory is one movie one could not expect to inspire a team. But this is what the film has done for Desert Dingo Racing - a team currently set on rebuilding a vintage Volkswagen Beetle they will field in the famous Baja 1000 off-road race.

The team is composed of members from Felton, Scotts Valley, Boulder Creek, San Jose, and Washington D.C. The members of the team are currently looking to field a 1969 Volkswagen Beetle into the off-road race. The team has until November to assemble the vintage Beetle which they are not only rebuilding but also repairing.

The team was founded by Jim Graham of Felton, California after he saw the Dust to Glory movie. After being inspired by the film to enter the race, he contacted his friend Mike Aquino from San Jose. Aquino is a motorcycle racer but was not instantly sold to the idea of entering the famous off-road race - that was until he saw the movie.

“As corny and cheesy as it sounds, I absolutely saw that movie and was moved,” said Aquino. They are then joined by another friend, Cary McHugh also from San Jose. The team also includes drivers, mechanics and team managers.

For their entry to the race, they decided that they will enter the Class 11 category. The category is said to be the cheapest category at the Baja 1000 to enter. The cars in this class are vintage Volkswagen sedans. More specifically, the Volkswagen Beetle manufactured before 1982. Aside from that, the vehicle should have as little modification as possible. This means that even changing the VW wiper blade would be an issue for the team.

The Baja 1000 is held very year through Mexico’s Baja California Peninsula. This is where the most hardcore off-road racers gather together to see which cars can survive the more than 1000 mile race course. There are several categories in the race. Aside from stock Volkswagen Beetles, there are also categories for motorcycles, production cars, buggies, trucks, and custom made cars.

Charlie Reynolds of Scotts Valley who was given the task of driving the 1969 Beetle said that he likes the challenge offered by the sport. “It's more about figuring out problems and overcoming hurdles than it is about driving fast. You're more interested in not getting stuck and defying the odds of making a little car go a thousand miles it's not supposed to go,” said Reynolds.

Aside from conquering the terrain, teams should also be on the lookout for booby traps. Through the years, the race has been known to be sabotaged by spectators. Although spectators create booby traps for the racers, these are not intended to injure the drivers. Instead, they are only done for the entertainment of spectators. But the fact remains that these traps can lead to injuries on the part of the driver. Therefore, teams are forewarned to be careful of places where large crowds gather in remote parts of the tracks because this could mean that they, of course, may be booby trapped.

Desert Dingo Racing tough is willing to face this daunting task not only for the glory of finishing the race. This is because the team is using the race to raise funds for the International Diabetes Federation. According to Graham, they are looking to raise at least $100,000. The concern of the team for diabetic persons stem from Aquino’s Type 2 diabetes.

Is it possible to put a roll bar on a 71 Super Beetle convertible?

I would love to put a roll bar on my 71. I assume it's doable b/c dune buggies have roll bars. I see ads for roll bars all the time for them, but none for a convertible. Does anyone know or have any experience with this?

If it is safety you are after be sure that it mounts to the floor with six by six metal plates on both sides of the floor( inside and outside). If you happen to roll this will prevent the roll bar from punching thru the floor.
