If Ted Kennedy Drove a Volkswagen, He'd Be President Today

(Image removed from quote.)

It floats.

The way our body is built, we'd be surprised if it didn't. The sheet of flat steel that goes underneath every Volkswagen keeps out water, as well as dirt and salt and other nasty things that can eat away at the underside of a car. So it's watertight at the bottom. And everybody knows it's easier to shut the door on a Volkswagen after you've rolled down the window a little.

That proves it's practically airtight on top. If it was a boat, we could call it the Water Bug. But it's not a boat, it's a car.

And, like Mary Jo Kopechne, it's only 99 and 44/100 percent pure. So it won't stay afloat forever. Just long enough. Poor Teddy. If he'd been smart enough to buy a Volkswagen, he never would have gotten into hot water.

VW advertized the watertightness of the beetle. The picture is an actual VW ad, the text is the fake text from the Lampoon parody.

During the photography session, this Beetle floated for 42 minutes. Best copy from actual ad: "...keep in mind... even if it could definitely float, it couldn't float indefinitely. So drive around the big puddles. Especially if they're big enough to have a name."

BUG! That looks like a 1303 - curved windscreen, elongated bonnet/hood. Is that rust near the bottom of the door, or a reflection of something on the ground?

Saw a Bug in Mexico had to be 20 years old, the gas cap? The gas cap was a Cheez Whiz lid.

Woha... I've got goose bumps here... I was in Mexico once, and this VW stopped and these two Mexicans jumped out of the Bug with guns. I thought I was dead, but all they did was take the cap off my Cheeze Whiz and leave.

Now I understand. Thanks, Karaya.
