Last night I was parked next to this '67 beetle at my son's elementary school. Seemed like a nice guy. I'd have like to have talked to him a little longer but he was on the phone and we were kinda rushed too.

I'll bet this was Bug Pixie, AKA Morgan.

Saw Darrell Osegna today on Mountain Industrial Blvd. (red bay bus). As he was turning, there was a lady in a light blue beetle waiting at the light. Shocked

Also saw a white beetle on Cheshire Bridge Road this afternoon.

Darrell's shop, Hot Wash, is right there near Mountain Industrial and Hugh Howell.
I think the lite blue bug that I keep seeing in Tucker is Morgan, from Mighty Joe's Espresso.

Didn't have the crazy front bumper, but had the square headlights, and some strange taillights. Decklid had about 100 louvers in it. Looked to be in decent shape. This was probably around 3:30.

he lives just down the street from me his name is Richie he has quite a collection
