The Capitol building of Raleigh NC. Sadly, it's not quite as spectacular as asiab3's city hall.
NEXT UP: your VW in front of an old abandoned, spooky looking house/building. _________________ Everybody born before 1975 has a story, good, bad, or indifferent, about a VW.

An old abandoned building in the center of town where I live:
For bonus points here's a creepy picture I took last year, the hanging tower in Kingston, Ontario. Legend has it that back when Canada had Capital punishment this is the tower where the prisoners where hung. This tower is located on the property of a Maximum Security Federal Prison.
To this day this building is known to locals as the "Hanging Tower":
(In reality, this structure is located on a hill at the highest point near the prison and was used as a water tower, I don't know the details on how it worked).
Next up, a tough one, find an old picture, preferably with an old ride of yours (or another 'dub, or just an old picture) and photograph your car in the same location. My example doesn't count as the new picture is a year old, but to give you an idea.
Early '80s (yes, this was the beast I drove back in the day!):
Same location 2015:

Your old beater is hideous. LOL! But the Vocho is a work of art. Love that car!
What I find funny in these pics is. The no parking sign is still there along side the apartment building.

I had over $300 invested in that car, including the white and blue donors
That apartment is now a Howard Johnsons. It's been a Motel since the 60s, before the first picture it was quite nice. My old neighborhood declined a lot over the years, about 5 years ago the Motel was a crack house and prostitute hotel. The first picture was taken on the front lawn of my parent's house, I haven't lived there for 30+ years.
The whole area is now being rejuvenated, HJ has gutted and renovated the hotel. Book a room if you dare!

Ok just so we're all on the same page,
Current challenge is: a picture of your VW at the same location as an old picture you already have. Old picture may or may not have a vehicle in it. Please post both photos for reference.
Is this correct? _________________ 2015 VW Passat Wolfsburg Edition
