I had to kinda cheat and use the swing set in my parents back yard because the county board, as usual nowadays, decided that it was too much liability to have swings anymore at our local park, and had them removed last year Sad they were nice big adult sized swings too! Oh well...

Next challenge: your VW by a cell phone or radio tower, mega-million extra bonus points if the tower is/was from the old AT&T "Long Line" microwave telephone signal transmission system (very cool reading, by the way. They were used from the early '50s up until the late '80s, when fiber started taking over. The towers and buildings were designed to withstand a nuclear explosion up to within several miles of the site, with redundant diesel generators, bomb shelters, spare parts, the whole set-up. Very cool...) Very Happy

We still have one or the remnants of one locally.. it was dead center downtown.. .. and was covered to make more "aesthetically pleasing". Rolling Eyes

I remember in the 70's it was one of the most bizarre futuristic looking antenna's around.. .. now it just looks like any ole' building .. with a big AT&T sign on it.. Mad

Getting hard to find things that haven't already been done!

How about: your VW next to a 1920s / 1930s car. Bonus points for a '32 Ford coupe.

Why not post a new challenge? I'd say your picture counts.
