In the '72 Bug. Being a downwardly mobile guy, I now have a 1958 Bug.
Shot in daylight with open flash behind passenger visor.
Nice shot. I have owned many Beetles, Buses and 2 Karmann Ghia. I consider 1967 to be the best year, 12 volt, 1600 cc.
In the late 60's we made mud buggies out of them.
These were made by our group. I shot this in 1969.

'58's definitely a step up, isn't it, in Beetle-speak?
Absolutely. The '58 still has the classic, German rounded features. A '57 with rear oval window is the next step-up.
Randy, that's cool. Cold, in fact!

It is only April and the snows have started. The road out has no snow plough service and if there isn't a break in the weather the car will stay there until September. This is not good for an automobile; even a Subaru Outback.
Postscript: The weather eased. The car ploughed through. Soobies are great.

i miss the bugs i used to drive,
unfortunately they both died a viking funeral.
a 58's nice, 1 rear window but no gas gauge SWEET
My '66 died a Viking's funeral---the battery terminals arc'ed out on the rear seat springs (yeah the protective lid was on----I'm still not sure how that could have happened but that's what the fireman told me.)

Mine is a 2013 Honda Pilot. Love it! It damn near gets the mpg 's as my 2000 CRV that really lacked room on vacations. I typically take three camera kits and the CRV left little room for the wife's "stuff."
