I remember those VW ads where they compared the bug to the Roman arch! Boy I must be getting old!

I must be getting older; I don't recall that one.
But I do recall the one where drove a bug into water - and it floated (though they never said for how long....)

As Woody Allen showed us in Sleeper, at least for 100 years!

I also don’t remember the VW “Lemon” ad, but I can prove my elder status by admitting I remember them being advertised at $1999.  Boy, have times changed!

Bill, tgo

And gas was $.35 - $.65/gallon

Latest issue of the AARP magazine notes that in 1958, gasoline averaged 38¢/gallon - which, adjusted to 2023 dollars, would be $3.28
And that new 1958 Les Paul for $265 equated to $2822.29 (still not a bad investment, going for north of $300K now; about 10X inflation.....)
But Bill's $1999 Bug would only be $21,289.63 - a steal!

Peter (who clearly recalls stamping 5 lb bags of sugar for 65¢ in his teen days as a stock clerk/bagboy)

If you want to see cars that float just watch some videos of the tsunami that hit japan.

Alembic, everything today came after that.
The bass player’s function, along with the drums, is to be the engine that drives the car… everything else is merely colours.
