Good Riddance

I see in todays news that the Volkswagen Beetle production will cease in a few days. Maybe this time it will stay buried and we won't have to look at any more of Hitler's " people's car" ever again!! Never liked the things anyway.

Porsche's are closely related but they will probably make them things forever.

Oh them things ain't going away for a "thousands years", especially the old ones. More suitable for the European countries though. My dad owned a 1968 model in mint condition which I was gonna inherit, but I left . They will bring it back in another format when they run out of new ideas and when people have forgotten about them, let's say in 25 years or so.

Some of those old Kombi vans are worth Hemi E body money (don't know why)

Because they’re rare and enough people love them.
I saw a little blurb over on FBBO about the Camaro going away but I wasn’t quite interested enough to read the articles. Never liked the new ones, I think they look ridiculous.

I was shocked to see what the VW mini buses go for at auctions; over 100k in some cases.
They were transportation of choice for the "hippies" back in the day.

One of the tv resto shows even sponsored a remake recently on one.

They got some sort of a cult following.
