I remember the first car my parents' bought. It was a VW. They were so rare, VolksWagon drivers used to waive at each other on the road. And remember Herbie, The Love Bug? 

When I purchased my first vehicle, it was a beetle too. It brought my future husband and me together. And separated a lot of my paychecks from me. That's ANOTHER story.

Through the help of cyber friends, a Silver Lake beetle and her owner were recently reunited. Don't miss this Google maps miracle on LAObserved.
