Okay, to get this going again, & in honor of, but less complicated than Abscate’s offering…
YVW at a movie theater. Bonus if the theater is as old/older than your VW.

Definitely a '42 beetle...
The theater was actually built in 1942. Well, according to Google anyway.

| That's cool bro, but my Beetle is a 37 1/2, commissioned directly by Hitler from Ferdinand Porsche himself... In my imagination as I drive to work each day. |

My guess would have been 1971 for your Beetle. Maybe newer...
At any rate the picture meets the challenge.

The latest challenge does not stipulate a fast food window.
So I say go for it!

The local "Pop Shop" in our town tried a drive through a few years back but town residents complained to town council that cars were blocking the alley! That was the only drive through within an hour's drive of here!
