We had a VW beetle in my childhood years, always gives me motion sickness, it must be from the poor ventilation.
It has become a "baldman's car" in my part of the world because its shape resembles our hairfree dome.
It is funny to read this. I grew up in Germany and there were quite a lot of VW Kaefer (= beetle/bug) in the early seventies. If we had punched everytime......auuuu
