Is there a thread for bugs? I've got one with a Super Beetle and I searched that forum and the General forum, but got nothing.

The wife picked up this soft sided cooler from Trader Joe's commemorating the opening of their first store in 1967.

Saw this in a Fred Meyer a couple days ago. They have a 1970 Bay that they drive around as well.

Pretty cool sign I found in a bar in Plattsburgh NY.
They are available from their website, yes I got one! |
The older versions have the VW symbol on the bus.
I was at an event in our town with my Bay, and Two Roads was providing beverages; their guys ripped a tire sidewall getting the splitty promo bus off the trailer they haul it with, and only had a spare for the trailer.
Seeing the Bay, they asked if they could borrow the spare. They were a bit unhappy when I said no, and morose when I told them it wouldn't fit. They cheered right up when I told them I'd be back with a spare that fit, and I fetched the spare out of the '59 beetle.
I drank for free the rest if the day, and two days later a big box showed up with the spare inside packed with t shirts and a couple of signs.

The Tillamook bus/plane at the Portland Oregon airport. I was surprised to see that it is steel. Fun place for the kids to play while waiting for their flight.

I'm not a 100% certain those are real or AI, but I bought this blanket/hoodie thing for my daughter a few years ago when she was in college. It was advertised on FB.

Is it made with patches of material sewn into the design or is it a printed fabric that was quilted? It's nice.
