|
|
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. _________________ Everybody born before 1975 has a story, good, bad, or indifferent, about a VW.
GOFUNDYOURSELF, quit asking everyone to do it for you!
An air cooled VW will make you a hoarder.
Do something, anything, to your project every day, and you will eventually complete it.

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. _________________ Everybody born before 1975 has a story, good, bad, or indifferent, about a VW.

no worries...it's your thread. And yes, the photo (not mine) definitely looks altered - but I think it's pretty funny anyway! _________________ 1963 Beetle
