I grew up with "Bugs" around. About ten years ago I was offered a pretty good one (early Super Beetle with the flat windscreen) and it was a great reminder of some fun times and handled better than I remembered. The real killer for me was the fuel smell. It seems I may be sensitive to the smell of unburned hydrocarbons. Pre fuel injected cars are things I can't enjoy being around. As static displays, I'm OK,but when the engines start up: get me out of there. I even hate following them in traffic.
My loss, I know. I really got a kick out of driving that old Beetle on slower roads. Maybe if I converted it to tuneable fuel injection...
