Volks, Many of you know my restored 1970 VW police car and its story, and some have seen it at shows in the South and Midwest. Last night I drove up to a nearby “cruise-in” at a suburban shopping mall, where it and one other VW beetle were the only non-US-made cars present (out of about 300 cars). It’s quite an experience. So I am compiling a list of the most frequently asked stupid questions I've heard at car shows. In no particular order, here are some of the most often heard about the Copbug:
1. Did this really come from Germany? 2. How did they ever catch speeders with these? 3. Why isn't the steering wheel on the right? 4. Where do they put prisoners? 5. Does the siren work? 6. Do you ever pull people over just for fun? 7. Is that (POLIZEI) French or Eye-talian? 8. Shouldn't that be a red light on top? 9. Can you really talk to the German police on that radio? 10. Can it really go 140? It's not on the list, but last night I actually heard one throwback to the 1950s: "Where's the engine?" Maybe you have heard a few good ones yourself. Or maybe you can think of some snappy responses for me. I don't want to hurt anybody's feelings, but they need some education.
