Was looking at the site's What's New for latest Dealers & Distributors / Added dealer photos, and saw these unenthusiastic guys posing at a Michigan dealer. https://www.thesamba.com/vw/archives/info/dealers/campscars_midland_mi.php
Gee, what happy looking fellows. Would hate to get on their bad side and run into them in a dark alley..
"And here; we watch as Sal the salesman reluctantly turns over the keys of a brand new Beetle to Bruno, (as Bruno is in need of new wheels since his old car was impounded by the detectives for being under suspicion of transporting "hot" stolen goods for his boss's gang. But they haven't any charges to go on).
*(Not pictured is the briefcase filled full of cash Sal turned over to Bruno.. but he finds the luggage compartment is spacious for holding cash enriched briefcases, and stolen silverware) _________________ Be kind to all critters. America's "H8TERZ" can drink sludgy used Motor Oil!

I'm surprised Bruno can fit in that bug. He's a big man. _________________ Contact me at [email protected]

I've never lived where it is winter like that, but I wouldn't think it's even possible to ride a bike on those roads, yet I see there's lots of people doing it. How hard is it to ride in those conditions? _________________ Prosit!
