Had the car 35 years and don't know the difference between a Super and a Standard.

It appears none of you read the ad. Jeez, read the ad. It tells you all about the car. It's one of those ultra rare flat window '74 Super Beetle, Standard beetle things. I mean look, it has the "D" openings in the front wings for the bumper shocks.

For some reason unknown to me, I used to have a habit of looking through Samba car ads and then telling the owners when they listed a car the wrong way. I was always very polite about it.

About two years ago, I came upon one such ad where the guy was selling what was clearly some red standard sedan. I said "Sir, you've probably been told this before, but the car you're selling is a standard Beetle, not a Super beetle". He responded thus: "WELL, IT APPEARS YOU'RE THE ONLY WHO DOESN'T KNOW WHAT MY CAR IS...IT MOST CERTAINLY IS A SUPER BEETLE!!" I decided to stop helping people on Samba ads after that.
