Update: scrool around in the window, another VW is just behind him. |

I found that one via Wired magazine. The new google maps street view feature has alot of people up in arms about privacy concerns... I'm just having fun finding VW's. There are plenty of bugs, but the guy fixing the bus... that's gold right there.
<Shamelessplug>
By the way, my uncles shop is here.
Check my pictures for samples of his work. You can see a yellow and a red bug in the photo. Email me for contact info

I know him! I thought it was me, but it is the hippie guy from Tassi I think.

All these VW's around San Francisco remind me of that one famous car chase scene. I can't remember the name of the movie, but every time they cut to another frame, there is the same bug or bus rolling up or down a hill.

Bullitt? Starring Steve McQueen? The mustang loses 5 hubcabs, and four scenes are the same shot shown with the film reverse, do the same cars are seen going up, or down the hill, depending on which take you are watching.
Yeah, we love that film. Second best car chase in movies (second to the Blues Brothers of course).
