If you look at the price of a 50s VW you will see they are getting expensive as well.

I have always had a soft spot for all of the above. My first boyfriend had a bright sky blue VW beetle. He taught me how to drive it.

My father had a dark navy blue Karmann Ghia before he got the Targa.

So many good cars in my past.

Some lady busy texting rolled forward into my brothers 54 bug. The insurance guy said it was totaled because of a bent fender. My brother told him to find any running 54 bug on Samba in the same condition and get a price. They decided to fix his car.

But if you are nice to her (or him), she or he will be nice to you and keep you happy with said pain meds.

Sidney, my friend does this same stuff. She is awesome at it and has even performed it. They don't call it yoga though. Acrobatics is what they call it. Immense strength and balance.

True but I'd rather just avoid a hospital.

OK Rick, I spent an hour uploading my air show pictures to flickr. I don't want to spend another hour uploading them here so for the moment I will just give you the link to the set. I will pick out some of the best ones and post them here by tomorrow evening I reckon.
