For many people there are only two kinds of aircooled VWs: bugs and 
busses. I often get asked if my car is a Volvo. You just have to 
smile and tell them what it really is.

As I was filling up the tank to leave the Invasion, the guy next to 
me, driving some sort of big pickup, complemented me on my nice Type 
3. That was unusual, but it turned out that he had a bug and a KG, 
and was very familiar with the full line of aircooled VWs. That's not 
the usual experience, but I occasionally get people who stop and look 
at the car and tell me that they used to have one of those.
