In the spirit of the VW fun challenge, I want to see your VWs with funny, odd or misspelled so signs.

Here are some examples:
Misspelled signs
Weird/funny town/city names
Combinations of business signs that don't compliment each other
Back lit signs with burned out bulbs that spell something different at night
(I saw a restaurant advertising for employment "now hiring closers $8.50 hr" someone removed the "C")

Do you really want to try First taste?

The idea is to get a picture of these signs WITH your VW, so get out there & lets see your VW with those signs.

^^^ they mean there are manholes or other in-the-pavement structures that stick up above the pavement surface that can rip your oil pan out...

Thanks Zylinderkopf but I'm trying to keep this thread strictly for signs with VWs. Not saying that you did it but yours also looks like the picture has been altered, not what I'm looking for.

no worries...it's your thread. And yes, the photo (not mine) definitely looks altered - but I think it's pretty funny anyway!
