...that people who drive classic VW Bugs LOOK like they should be driving classic VW bugs?

Curious.

My dad died on August 4, 2004 after being sick for a long time. I was lucky to be able to talk and be with him before he passed, and when he passed. His death was much like his life – dignified and strong. My family misses him and his absence fills us with sadness, but we know that his suffering is over and he is in a better place.
