Do you recognize this car as the bug? Vintage volkswagens are being restored back to their historical beauty. The volkswagen will always make you turn your head and smile even today. I had a friend who had a bug for many years and even when she bought a brand new car she kept her bug as she loved it. I have no idea what has happened to her bug now. Did you or do you own a volkswagen and if so don't you just love it?

I think the majority of certain aged people had one. Mine was a '69.

@AbbyGreenhill wow a 69 bug bet you wish you had it now.

@AbbyGreenhill I can fully understand it having served its purpose and now you want something more roomy with more metal around you when going out and about.

@Marcyaz Absolutely not - It served its purpose and gave me many good years...I prefer comfort now - and a lot more metal around me than that.

I remember one that a co worker had decades ago, it was already old in 1973 but she kept it because it was given to her to use when she was in high school .... I wonder whatever happened to it.

My hubby had a red bug when we first met and my dad bought me a Karmin Ghia, a convertible Volkswagen, for a college graduation present. Our tastes in cars have changed quite a bit over the years.

If we have one, surely we would love it because it is already a vintage car. Many car collectors restore it then some sell it for a good price.

@Marcyaz When I had cars they were mostly Chevy and also had a pontiac. I love the picture of the Mom and baby.
