Saw this one while wasting some time near the bay front in Erie, PA. Yes I know the second picture doesn’t have a VW in it but it’s a close up of the actual small library because it’s hard to see in the first pic.

It's a win. Good eye.

There is a coffee cup exchange a couple blocks away from my house. I've never seen one anywhere else. But the cups do change almost daily.

Next challenge?

Ok how about this unless it was done recently.

Your VW next to a recent graduate in their cap and gown at their school can be any graduation from kindergarten to college.

Was thinking. More on the lines of a recent event,naturally occuring , or manmade.

I don't know if an E4 is considered a natural occurrence?
A giant tree was on it. This photo was taken last night & the storm happened in late March!

It will definitely buff out! Surprised

Ok I’ll make this one easy.

Your VW out front of your favorite mom and pop establishment. Can be a restaurant or a bakery or anything. Just no chain establishments. Bonus if the owners pose with your ride.

In my hood. A couple VW specialty shops for parts (even used OEM parts) and repairs. They all drive aircooled and or older water cooled VWs.

Man, I haven’t taken the Beetle out in almost a year. I forgot how fun this is to drive.

Xatie came up with this challenge.

I hoped to get this in before the last Challenge was over, but here's my day late and dollar short entry for local favorite mom and pop establishment:

Our monthly club meet is at El Sancho Loco, in Newbury Park. Here is Joe, the owner. He runs a great restaurant, and supports both our club meets, and many charity events, often with a Mariachi band. Always a great day! We usually have about 20-30 cars; these are just those parked right in front, and I asked him to pose for The Samba. Thanks, Joe!

Ok, back to our regularly scheduled programming...
