Fun Vehicles

Jackie Layton

Growing up my brother and I played Smush Bug and Horsie for entertainment in the car. We also played the license plate game on trips. I may not know much about vehicles, but I pay attention.

One vehicle that has always intrigued me is a VW Bus. It’s not actually a bus, but it’s not called a van. Why? The VW Bus also came in fun colors.

In a story I’m working on now, I’m including a VW Bus as a ‘food truck.’ It’s actually a coffee bar in my story. So I’d already been thinking about this particular vehicle when Tim and I drove by one. Tim’s so good to me, and parked near it so I could take some pictures to pun on my Pinterest board.

I blotted out the license plate, and this thing is in perfect shape. You’d think we were back in 1970.

Seeing this VW made me happy, and I’d like to share pictures of it with you. Have you ever owned a VW bug? Bus? Any VW?

I didn’t meet the owner, but if I’d seen the person I would’ve waved and if possible asked about the bus.
Just in case you didn’t think the owner is full of personality, check out all of the bumper stickers!

2020 has been a hard year, but let’s don’t miss out on little things that bring us happiness!
