Today is the last day for the old-style VW Beetle Boy do I love these cars, especially the real old ones (50s and 60s):

old/new bug Some Bugs are hard to kill. After a brief reprieve, the Volkswagen Beetle, the original version, faces extinction today. Volkswagen's plant in Mexico -- the only one in the world that still makes the old-style Beetle -- finishes one last gussied-up retro edition of the plucky, curvacious little car, ending the model's 70-year run.

I'd love to get my hands on one of these new/old bugs, but I don't think they're legal (due to emissions standards) in the US. For any Colorado bug fans out there - the Fineline Bug-In is coming to Bandimere Speedway on August 10th. Julie, Abbie and I are going - should be a great time. I almost buy one every year I go - this year I might actually do it. I'd especially like something like this '58 Vert'. I still plan on restoring an old Bug or Bus in the near future.
