Ford Model T brought motoring to the masses with Henry Ford's ingenious assembly line and economy of scale but the VW Beetle brought motoring to the world.
I don't know of any family who has never owned at least one Beetle. In my family alone we had 7 of them.
5 original Beetles, 1 New Beetle and 1 New New Beetle Turbo.
Out of 40 vehicles I've owned in 30 years, 3 of them were Beetles.
Let's not forget the lovable Herbie, and all the dune bugs that are still running today.
It's too bad the Beetle has lost its appeal in the current generation but it's still near and dear to me.
