Herbie Fully Loaded

My wife and I decided to go and see the new Herbie movie. We found out that it was playing at the local drive-in theater, so we got our things together

And fired up '65 Beetle. When we arrived at the drive-in, it was filling up with cars fast, every little kid in the place started jumping and waving and pointing.

My wife and I felt like we were some kind of celebrities. My bug is blue with no 53 or racing stripes, but all the children were excited and hollering

" hey mommy, look, its Herbie" or "look its herbies brother". Even the adults were pointing and making comments. Everyone was happy to see us.

I was pleasantly surprised, the movie was actually pretty good. It wasn't fantastic but it was fun and entertaining. We didn't stay for the second

Feature. It was a remake of Willie Wonka and the Chocolate Factory, I didn't like the original anyway.

After Herbie was over we tried to make a quiet exit, but now everyone was psyched up about the movie they had just seen. Everyone was

Whistling and shouting cheering honking horns as we drove out. It was FUN!...I'm Glad I didn't drive my Jeep tonight.

My son and I just went to go see Herbie, I thought it was a fun movie! I know I saw the original as a kid, but I can't seem to remember much about it. Now we're thinking about renting the original & watching it. We drove our '68 Camaro, I could have sworn it was checking out the new Camaros on our way home! BTW I haven't seen the willy wonka movie but our local twin cities movie reviewer gave it an A+, said it was a fantastic movie.

I know what you felt like RLS. Our local VW Club parked 6 VWs in front of The Rave Theater on June 22 which was the Premire of The Herbie Movie. What a hoot. Kids and adults checking out our bugs before and after the movie. Had so much fun that I drove over to Mobie, Al two nights later and helped LAVA VW Club do the same thing . Same results same fun! Enjoyed the Movie ,too.

Be Cool.....AIRCOOLED !!

When we are driving a beetle the people usually look and smile.

I want to know if I missed something in the movie? The toys that are out have the Herbie and then there are the following:

A Black Herbie A Orange Bus and a Blue Bus

Were these buses in the movie somewhere and I missed them or are they just some of the marketing stuff? Don't remember a black version of Herbie either.
