    Yeah, I read that, too. This is a nice send-off. We had a 1960 Bug, but it didn't last long. We were living in Chicago and the car had no heater. Also, we had two kids and the four of us had a hard time fitting in that car. It was kinda fun, though. Re your question: I believe I took those photos on a Monday when they place is pretty much shut down, although there isn't a lot of activity in the Great Room during the week except at night when they hold classes on various topics and "Happier Hour" spills over from the restaurant.

    Really??? Will there be a 4th generation, I wonder, or will they go back to an earlier generation??? How can you beat the first generation, right...or the Bug!

    Many years ago (and I do mean many), I rode in a VW bug to California with a friend who owned the car. That had to be the most uncomfortable ride I've ever taken in a vehicle. I remember we took her car for the gas mileage because it was during the gas shortage crisis. I think they are a little more comfortable now but, I wouldn't know that for sure because I've never been in one since.

    My parents had a couple of the older models like this one at various points.

    I always like the bug. I had a 64 bug back in 1977, it was blue too but didn't look as good as the one in your photo.

    They were fun to drive but they sure were cold in the winter - at least the old ones were!

    Such a reliable standard. We had a '65 in '67 and a '73 in '81-'84.
