Herbie The Love Bug has been spotted in Richmond, Virginia. It appears to be a new improved version as evidenced by this photograph ;0)

This VW Bug has probably gotten a lot of double takes recently. Just this past weekend the movie "Herbie Fully Loaded" (2005) aired on TV.
Spend 30 minutes + and watch the original movie with the family. Nice excuse for popcorn and given the weather here lately..... a nice excuse for a warm cozy glow in the fireplace. Now that sounds like getting a little closer to personal peace ;0)

Photograph Compliments of a Good Friend..... Thanks again!
