I thought Woody Allen's movie "The Sleeper" answered this mystery long ago.

There is a scene where Luna Schlosser, played by Dian Keaton, is incessantly 
babbling on about different philosophical points of view. Both Luna and Miles 
Monroe, played by Woody Allen, are on the run and are looking for some fast 
transportation to evade the authorities. The two of them have just discovered a 
very old looking Volkswagen beetle. The rusted bug is probably over a hundred 
years old and Miles wonders if the contraption will still run. He has his 
doubts. As they approach the relic Luna pauses in the middle of her 
philosophical babbling, and then blurts out:

Did you know that 'God' spelled backwards is 'dog?' Makes you think, doesn't it.

Miles, somewhat exasperated, rolls his eyes and asks Luna to help him move the 
car. Miles eventually gets into the car and turns the key. Being a Volkswagen 
it starts on a dime!

We may never know the true answer to Luna's epiphany. OTOH, I suspect the 
beetle may have been retrofitted with a CF engine!
