There are a number of Karmann Ghia's taking the same path as herbie, and
almost all of them are on their own four wheels. Not too many are doing
the entire treffen, but there are a handful.
Granted, Ghia's are fine handbuilt Italian automobiles while bugs and
the rest are kind of riff-raff if you ask me. KIDDING!

And if one of them breaks down and can't make it any further then
nobody will care except the owner of that car. That's not the case
for the "star of the show" and john knows it. It just the way john
is. I can't help having my opinion of him just go lower and lower
about every time he posts something. He's become "not worth the
time."

Thanks for sharing your great pix and the update, Susan. Looks like you
guys had a blast!

That's a cool idea, Bill!
It would be cool to decorate the garage with one of them. Wonder what
they do with the posters when they are done with them...?

I don't get this hating on Herbie:
Here's a movie that draws some attention to this hobby - What could
possibly be wrong with that?
So big deal they trailer the bug, wanting to make sure that nothing
goes wrong with their multimillion dollar investment. Working on bugs
is not their hobby - making money is. What would you do if you had this
kind of money invested? The bug has to look good 100% of the time and
this is the way to ensure it.

That is clear to most of us. ;-)

you're sorry or Chris & Travis will start flaming the frigging $h!+ out of

Now if you can't say something nice .... I'll post pictures of my severed
left hand part... oh, forgot that's everyday for you. Darn.

Me doubts Chris will flame me for the Herbie thang.

If life looks any dimmer to me soon, I'll be building a Herpies Beetle.
Imagine the paint job. And I'll take bids to NOT drive it coast to coast. VW
and them drug companies have deep pockets. I'll be rich either way.

If he doesn't it's just because he's got more important things to do.
If I still had stuff to do today other than sit here and watch the
race then I wouldn't have said anything either.

Cry me a river. Maybe you "deserve" your situation like you said
someone else "deserved" a particular kind of mechanic. Speaking of
whining, my hands actually feel great now. Must be something in the
por-15 that cured them. WOOT!

................You lost part of your left hand from herpes? I'm afraid to
ask what you were doing with that hand.

cream on them next time.
