[00:42:53] <exec> 08└─I learned to drive in an old beetle, back in the 70's. I loved those cars. They stopped selling them here in the states but when I went to Cancun in the 80's it seemed that the beetle was all that taxi drivers drove. I remember wishing I could bring one back. The new beetles, yuck! Like I need a car...

[00:42:54] <exec> 08└─I thought there was the "classic" Beetle and the "modern" Beetle that came out in 1998. But it looks like VW will stop making all Beetles; thus the headline is misleading.
