Used Car of the Day: Volkswagen Beetle TDI
This modified Volkswagen Beetle TDI has mud tires -- and a lot more when it comes to some off-roading type stuff.
There are GM air shocks in the back, a one-inch spacer lift in front, steel wheels, LED front bar lights, and all sorts of other mods.
The transmission is a DSG and there are 119,000 miles on the clock.
Apparently, the car passes Oregon's local regs.

Tim Healey grew up around the auto-parts business and has always had a love for cars — his parents joke his first word was “‘Vette”. Despite this, he wanted to pursue a career in sports writing but he ended up falling semi-accidentally into the automotive-journalism industry, first at Consumer Guide Automotive and later at Web2Carz.com. He also worked as an industry analyst at Mintel Group and freelanced for About.com, CarFax, Vehix.com, High Gear Media, Torque News, FutureCar.com, Cars.com, among others, and of course Vertical Scope sites such as AutoGuide.com, Off-Road.com, and HybridCars.com. He’s an urbanite and as such, doesn’t need a daily driver, but if he had one, it would be compact, sporty, and have a manual transmission.

Buy it. I dare you! Clearly the Pin has already been pulled on the Grenade, this only question is, how long until.... BOOM!
Not a fan of the New Beetle, but would gladly take its Beetle replacement in a black turbo convertible with the 6 speed.
