Check out the link to this article. It is about a business owner that is using a Beetle as a decoration for her business, but city officials don't want it there.

67 Beetle

There's a pub right near my old University home that has a '70s Beetle on the roof. I think they put it there to rival a nearby pub/cafe that has 4 Mini's on top of it!

Which one gets more business?

People in Ohio just don't have enough to worry about with the unemployment rates rising, war, etc. so they obviously needed to find an important issue to bitch about.

We bitch about Pittsburg having an Ohio Quarterback too... ;) Jack

Wow .... an ultra rare '60 Super Beetle. You don't see those very often anymore. ;-)

It's interesting that the accompanying survey was 85% in favor of letting them keep the bug.

I'm originally from central Ohio and just moed to Pittsburgh, so I reserve the right to bitch about both places ;-)

I'm with Scott on this one...........I didn;t even look at the link til he pointed out that the car was a 60 model *and* a Super Beetle................Look at it ................LOL

The mounting is pretty sad, but it could be done much better and made very safe. I can only imagine they did it that way to "load" the front springs and make it look somewhat normal................for some reason...........................
