Has anyone watched The Man in the High Castle, airing on Amazon?
It's based on a Phillip K. Dick story about an alternate reality where the Germans and Japanese have won WWII and the U.S. is now divided into 2 sectors, the Greater Nazi Reich and the Japanese Pacific States. VERY interesting watch.
At any rate, there are so many old aircooled VWs in this show I can't count them all. _________________ I'm the humblest guy on this board.

Watched the movie Bridge of Spies last night and saw this:
In the special features on the DVD:
They are blurry because I had to take them while the movie was playing. When I paused it the whole lower left of the screen is obliterated by info. Stupid machine. _________________

Nice pre-68 bug shows up in the new Captain America 'Civil War' movie to provide some nice comedic opportunities. |

From CHiPs TV show. They were a dime a dozen.
Actually met Erik Estrada, Larry Wilcox, and Robert Pine in Parsippany NJ
two weeks ago. Great guys. Brought back some fond memories of that show.
Now to get the theme song out of my head

What's the spirit of driving a Beetle? Since I've got this little yellow-black cute thing for a week I didn't know. Find out my conclusion inside my latest video!
