Hi, I'm Annabelle Raven!
I'm a 1998 Volkswagen New Beetle, that's the 1st
year of the New Beetle. I was the 21,999th New Beetle off
the line! There were just over 50,000 produced, I think.
I keep an iris in my budvase and I have a personalized environmental
tag (that has irises on it too, it's the Tennessee state
flower) that says DEJA VW!
