I've wondered why more fuel tanks weren't designed with tank level indicators, in the above case, a sightglass. Probably a held over prejudice from my submarine days


VW fans really love their vehicles, and customize them alot, but I've never seen a bug grafted to a van before, just this one in a movie


the reason? It makes for standing room!

If you've seen the Red Bull mini trucks advertising, then these shouldn't be much of a surprise. Cool, but not the first to drive around advertising


The only (and lonely) split window Beetle in Pakistan (if you ever learn of another let me know!)





This is how and where it was discovered after being pushed out of a mechanics shop and left for 8 years on the street as it was desired by the VW Club of Pakistan but the mechanics wouldn't sell.... it had been inside their shop for 20 years before that... some people have a hard time letting go! Finally a club member just took charge of the matter and it's now being restored!
