Yep, love the classic Beetle’s. Back when Volkswagen was run by people with souls.
It's a beautiful car, but German automotive manufacturing between the late 1930s (when the beetle was introduced) and mid 1940s was not necessarily the most... umm... soulful.

I believe everyone is aware that Hitler’s demand for cars shaped their beginnings. A company's history during World War II isn't particularly relevant 60 years later though 💁
okay but you have to admit this is a wild statement to anyone who knows the origins of the brand.
What's social media without wild statements? 😀
