The history of the Volkswagen Bug told in a way I enjoy by Jason Weisberger from on 2019-06-17 15:27 (#4HBW7) Someday I will have a VW bug again. I learned a lot of trivia from this video.My first car was a 1970 in faded yellow with the slap-stick transmission and a 1600 engine.Kifer more appropriately translates as "Beetle," but I'll always think of it as "the Bug."
