I think of the Baja Bug as a VW with fiberglass front end and bonnet, jacked up suspension, big rear wheels, and high exhaust. Still has the VW body shell and floor pan, and often driven on the street. When you say dune buggy, I think of the tube framed buggies with only drivetrain and suspension from the original car (sand rails that are rarely seen on the street) or a fiberglass replacement body on the VW chassis like the Meyers Manx. When I was five years old, I thought the Manx was one of the coolest cars around, I ranked it right up there with the Corvette. My nephew had a Berrien sand rail, and the college kid across the road currently has one. The kid across the road is in major need of a windscreen, his passenger seat usually has a few pounds of mud in it. He was out playing in the mud Friday, I should have gotten a picture of him. I can't believe he drives that thing without goggles. Mitch.
