Love you, Herbie!!! by marlboromaam

Love you, Herbie!!!

I saw him in a parking lot, but was in the wrong lane to turn in. I had to do a 180 to come back and capture his wonderfulness! Just look at his sweet face. Showing my age again remembering the first Disney movie with Dean Jones and the Love Bug, Herbie. This was the first car I learned how to drive - four on the floor. Good days long gone.
I call these babies "Granddaddy" bugs. Mine is only a youngster, a 2010

@joysabin LOL! This one is probably a great grand daddy. Yours is a youngster! Is it an automatic?

Yeah you hardly ever see those anymore - slug bug!

I love slug bugs (my first car - a red one) and loved the movie! What a fun find.

@wakelys LOL! They do. Like a purrrrrrr. =)

@catcarter19 Now, now. Used to be known as the beetle. =)

@milaniet LOL! I know the people in the cars around me thought I'd lost my mind turning around to go back to the parking lot. Red beetles were rare. You were lucky! I remember more orange ones than red. The one I learned to drive was baby blue. Off white, baby blue, orange, red and yellow. Do you remember any other colors?

Punch buggy - no punch backs! Also, Herbie Goes Bananas was the superior installment. Thanks for the trip down memory lane.
