Oh no - it is a VW and more-or-less an SUV! Good thing this isn't in the Car Lounge!

That is one fine piece of work.

This car is soooo.... odd. i dont really know much of the history of this model...was it really called the "thing" from the factory?


Neither is it correct to use an apostrophe with plural abbreviations or numbers and years -- CDs, ICBMs, PCs, VCRs, 90s, 18s, etc.

I'm not too sure if it was originally called Thing but I wouldn't be suprised because it fits the car so well. Go down to San Diego sometime because over summer they have a lot of of Thing meets. You'll see about 100 of them cruising to the beach- it's really an awesome sight.
