Supposed to VW fun challenge in the beginning it moved along fine although a bit out of order at times at least it was getting attention now there are more gripes about not following the rules or not liking what someone chooses for the next challenge than pictures posted wheres the fun in that?

And...true... no fun in pointing out the continued errors in a topic that are a major buzz kills.
I know ...I get that.. looks like you do too.
Oh.... Im not griping.. let's play on..
Hopefully someone can complete the last task and we can move it on forward.
I know around here.. you have to climb under a bridge to see the dates built .. no telling how old houses and buildings are as most structures are not publicly dated.
If its a pain in the ass to complete a "challenge: .... no one will want to complete or has fun or will even want to play..
That was my point..

Where's the Samba "like" button when you need it? It's all a bit of fun, let's lighten up a little and let this thread carry on its wandering way.
I'm just waiting for the "your car in pieces in a garage covered in 5 years of dust" challenge. I got that one down.

| Sorry, didn't realize it was supposed to be a recent picture. How about a building or structure built in the same decade as the vw? I thought it would cool to see a vw with a building that was around when the car was new. |
Building was built in 1963, bug is a 61' Ragtop. This is now a Veterans Museum (awesome!) - In the link below, 2nd row, far right was the photo of a cop car in front of the building when it was new.

Next challenge - your VW in front of a Church sign with a serious (read funny) message posted on it. Have fun!!!

Dang it! I'm posting it anyway since I drove in to DC on rain soaked roads and stood in the middle of the road to take the shot.
Both built in 1968. Housing and Urban Development Building in Washington DC.
Challenge is still;

Security giving you the stink eye? Lol
The church near me had a message that said "Tired of the hustle and bustle of life? Come home to Jesus". I laughed cause it sounded like they wanted me to commit suicide. If it's still up I'll snag a pic with my car. |

You don't have the brains to realize that Porsche put an engine and round wheels on your 356 so you can actually enjoy it. We wouldn't expect you to know how to post a pic. |
