When you buy a good cheap registered '73 Beetle to turn into a buggy, but after getting it running sweetly and Herbieing it you can't bring yourself to wreck a perfectly good little Dakdak, so you buy another '68 Beetle which has been badly convertibled and is already partly wrecked, so you won't feel guilty.

- you wave to every Volkswagen you see, whether there's someone in it or not.
