My grandpa was german to him beetles was like god creating sunshine. I didn't find out until years later when he confessed he cheated playing slug bug when I was in grade school he'd pick me up after scoping out nearby parking lots! I love that SB game and everytime he picked me up (in his beetle) I'd get in the car so ready to throw serious pee wee punches down all upside his head. Cheating at Slug Bug should be a holy sin I was pissed when I found out but also..That was pretty F'n awesome Grandpa Rhiney touché

My first bug was a 65 and my dad purchased it when I turned 16, it was great, had a stock sunroof and I pretty much made it into a cal look, dropped, one piece windows, louvers. I loved that car in high school. Growing up in Southern California, my mom had a 71 with the automatic shift purchased brand new. So many memories listening to AM radio and hanging out with my mom as a kid. In 77 dad purchased a white on white convertible super bug and it was special. It was given to me as my college car and I basically kept it stock but lowered the stance slightly and had the chrome hubcaps with 50 series tires. It was a looker and I kept it clean. Sold it to go to school in Switzerland. I love bugs but when I first laid my eyes on a 356 speedster that was dropped, it took my heart away. Would have loved to have had a notchback or a ghia but if I had a choice, a 64' 356SC would be my upgrade. Cheers!

Chris, excellent lighting and camera work. But I think you need to do at least one thing to be more like Alfred Hitchcock, you need to put a 1967 Volkswagen bugs somewhere in the scene.

If the Ford Model T was one step removed from a horse and buggy, the VW Bug was maybe two steps further along. I sometimes call them the VW Analog.

All those years ago, could you perceive the world would be locked in a battle of Good -v- Evil nevermore clear headed into 2025? AI reminds me of when 'drones' first entered the lexicon: Bush era neo-con forever war sky assassins, but then the People showed the peaceful use, indy film makers gained access to camera shots once reserved for Hollywood studios. Depending on the day, AI seems Hell sent itself, i.e. an attempt to re-create Creation. Nevertheless, it would be dishonest to not acknowledge the incredible ability to be able to more easily visualize the stories of through the original author's eyes.
