When I was a toddler, I often confused the finger for the peace sign. I can remember my father coming home from work on his Harley and giving him the finger. I think he gave it back, too.

More than half of this 7 pages are actors who are just posers. Many dont really drive or own a VW at all. Lets see some pictures of the real thing. Now Fluffy does own and likes his VWs....as well as Steve and others. Tim Allen, Jerry Seinfeld and many others ACTUALLY owned and have driven VWs.

This is from the first post of the thread, and seems open to interpretation. The OP doesn't say celebrity VW owners, just pictures of celebrities with VWs.

Although I have to admit in hindsight, this looks like a bad photoshop. LOL I don't think Lance Bass is cool enough to be into VWs. Laughing

Does nobody else see the humor in this? Oil filters being advertised on a car which does not use oil filters.. Very Happy

If I'm not mistaken, the other side of the bus advertises some radiator brand... Razz

Looks like a pretty general topic to me, as long as there is a celebrity and a Volkswagen.

Clint Eastwood

The white Beetle in the pic above looks to be the same one behind the Notchback. The location is Rome where Clint was likely in town while making "A Fistful Of Dollars" in 1964.
I don't ever remember seeing such a clear reflection off a VW body on one with a stock paint job.

^ there's been some weird manipulation done to that photo, everything is flattened with heightened contrasts except for clint's head! this is probably exaggerating the reflections in the car although, that said, things were shinier in the sixties...

You're right. You can see a white outline next to his body in several places -- definitely under the shoe on his right foot. The photo looks like a poorly done cut and paste job.

Reverse googling the image finster is correct - The photo above has been likely "enhanced" from the original but it does look like a real photo. I saw several others from the same series and some are lower quality and not as clear/crisp.

5 pics

Excessive sharpening can cause this artifact. In fact, there are several artifacts show this was edited digitally.
