I had one of the first Super Beetles in 1970. It's color on the bill of sale was Clementine, (orange) and it was bigger that this supposed Germanic Beetle. It could go zero to 60 in 9.5 seconds.

It had an 8 track and I would Play and sing along ,"Oh my Darlin' Clementine!"

I’ve got a ‘72 Super Beetle that I am currently restoring. How’d you get so much power out of yours?

"Starship Troopers")

That has got to be the largest Megalodon tooth that I have ever seen. Do you have a link to that photo?

This was a bug you couldn't swat and definitely couldn't step on.

Distantly related to "Genus Hillarious".

I'm reminded of a lass I once met on shore leave.... The ship's doctor was NOT amused.

I saw that movie in the theatre when it came out. One of my friends moms took us—I was about 10. Didn’t stop thinking about it for 15 years or so...

I was in the Air Force and belonged to the sports car club. We used to race our cars, (on a go cart track), and the local Volkswagen dealer's repair shop "souped it up" for me.

I had the car about a year and then was assigned to Guam and I sold it to another "racer" on base.
