Description

Never thought I'd want to drive a Volkswagen until I saw this juiced up little Beetle convertible at this year's Detroit auto show. Well, as juiced up as it can be with 150 horse, LOL. Added a little of Flaming Pear's Aetherize filter for some "dream" effects.

~~ Digital Darkroom ~~

Exif: F Number: 20, Exposure Bias Value: 0.33, ExposureTime: 1/160 seconds, Flash: did not fire, compulsory flash mode, ISO: 400, White balance: Auto white balance, FocalLength: 24.00 mm, Model: Canon EOS 30D

Absolutely stunning, Deb. Love the title too. I foresee more horses being added..
Wonderful application of effects, too. Hey, I could see ME driving this one...but not on the NJ Turnpike. I'm a wimp on that road...so I need a BIG footprint! #1076189

I used to have a beetle. Fun car. It was all customized and I left it parked at the old Playland in SanFrancisco while I took the bus to work and when I got back it was gone. I was on the bus to work the next morning and spotted it in a grocery store parking lot. It didn't like to start when it was wet (cracked distributor cap) so I guess whoever stole it decided to leave it. Talk about good luck, huh? Anyway, I love this one, too. #7108823
