**Welcome to /r/beetle!**

**OK:**

- Anything related to the original, Type-1, air-cooled, Volkswagen. 
- Cousins of the Beetle (Buses, Square/Fastbacks, Manx Buggies, other derivatives are also welcome here.)

**NOT OK:**

- Most content related to the ***New Beetle.*** *(Non air-cooled, Jetta-based, modernized, 1997–Present, etc.)* 
(*Most* original Beetles were made **pre-1978.**) *Won't get removed, but will likely get down-voted.*

- Overtly NSFW and off-topic content, spam, dealer advertisements, racism, bigotry, hate speech or hate symbols. *Will get removed.*
