If you are going to talk about jeeps and bugs, you'd better include VW Things! We still have our 1974 VW Thing, purchased brand new and in the family ever since. It was my brother's first car, then mine, and if it doesn't rust away before, it will be my sons first car! What is funny is how many people just walk up to this car and stare and then go on to tell you about their Thing or their friend's Thing or what have you. A real conversation piece...and still a lot of fun to drive. And no, this car won't float(I get asked that a lot)....too many rust holes in the bottom!
