Obviously, it is not a good car when people are in a hurry, but it is the perfect car to take a group of friends. Suarez does not bring the bus out very often, but he does drive the Beetle.

What else did Daniel Suarez tell Joey Logano about the collection?

His Beetle came from California and the best part is that it is hard to scratch the paint. He bought most of the parts separately and shipped them off to Mexico for restoration. This car is much faster than the bus, as it tops at around 80-90 miles an hour, and boasts of 170 horsepower.

Upon seeing this, Logano revealed that his son Hudson loves the movie, Herbie. In fact, he even celebrated Halloween in a Herbie costume.

Daniel Suarez also disclosed that he named one of his Beetles, ‘Raton’, which is Spanish for ‘Mouse’. This was largely because of the car’s dull grey color and yellow lights.

Interestingly, Suarez’s father tried to sell the car a long time ago. However, nobody wanted it, because it looked ‘ugly’, despite being in good condition. This was enough to convince the Suarez family to retain it.
