Re: The things you find on Youtube

How odd is it that we're discussing the Beetle's "heavy weight" :)

I loved watching that vid. It's like my version of ASMR. It's like when I used to join MTB races. I knew I was going to come in last before the race started but I was totally cool with it. I was just happy to see it all happen around me :)

PS: I did visit JustKampers.com while watching the video :)

Re: The things you find on Youtube

there are a few channels dedicated to restoring hot wheels (baremetalHW and WheelsNThangs are the 2 standouts). i get board and watch at work sometimes.
i actually have one of the bugs he's restoring in that video. only mines like a greenish blue and all original.

This was the point at which American car companies realized they made inferior products. Their game plan was to simply guilt the public into buying it:

That "The Bug and the Beetle" vid was posted on TheSamba lately and although quite interesting (and new to me) I didn't dare to post it here... :D
