You won't remember but you sold me a pair of Bug headlights a while ago that helped get my deer-wrecked car back on the road. Your car looks really nice, lots of great detail. Bugs rule!

Yes we did, and you left your wagon's motor running to keep your lady warm I guess! I found another front bumper, a wing and with your headlights the car was back on the road three weeks later after a respray, looking better than ever. Onwards and upwards with your Bug development buddy!
