That was fun, Lu. Thanks!


They look like they would be a hoot to drive. Glad you enjoyed it.

BTW, when I was deputy police chief in Albuquerque, NM in 1978, we tried an
experiment with VW beetles for patrol cars. Cost analysis looked good,
especially in light of the fuel shortages during the time of Jimmy Carter.
The test car looked cute with the "bubble gum machine" red light on top. All
was going according to plan with the test car until the driver engaged the
rotating red light on top of the car. The car spun around rather than the
red light.

Psych!
