@vwdasher There had always been an old, yellow sports car parked next to it, in the same non-running condition. Just left there to rust away, to be claimed by nature. Just like the Beetle, that car is also gone now.

@vwdasher When I was a kid, there was a house in the neighborhood that had an old, light-blue VW Beetle sat out front. It was always parked there. Fairly sure it din't run. It was a landmark in the area. Grass, small trees, grew around it. It was there when I graduated high school, when my family moved away.

I was back in that neighborhood a year ago to visit, to see the area. The Beetle was long since gone.
