Im about to buy a skateboard with a 70s bug on it despite the fact that I’m in my 30s and have never skateboarded. Just for the “cool” factor of hanging it in the garage and maybe putting it in my red 72 beetle at car shows, assuming I ever finish restoring the car

Does it come with an air-cooled engine mounted out back? |

No, it's a water-cooled flat-6. It's okay for a commuter, but I have something much more special for the weekends. |

Well I'm sure there is a waterpumper forum where they would like to hear all about it. |

The oddest thing I've bought (I do have some odd stuff), is this VW Christmas cookie cutter:
My wife did put it to use :

Sometimes I am puzzled by my interest in the Doyle Dane Bernbach ad campaign. (I believe that we have every VW ad ever published in Life Magazine)

A buddy got me a VW Swiss Army knife on a visit to Germany.

A curtain rod, with Beetles (kinda) on either end. I don't need them, they don't really fit any of my windows, but I'll be damned if I'm gonna let somebody else get 'em.
$10 on our local CL.

Now Subaru knows how to do dog toys. Ive got to get another one of these. Bark brand toys are BEST! They’re the only brand of plush that reliably last more than 10min with my pup (well bark and MLP, my dog loves killing ponies)
