I remember a time when I could drive a Bugeye and not have every other
person ask, "What kind of car is that?" There are a few that surprise
you though and know exactly what the Bugeye is. When a kid says "nice
Bugeye", it is usually because his Dad has one or he knows someone with
one. I get young girls always saying "I love your car!", or "Can I have
a ride?" Where were they when I was driving my clapped out Bugeye that
I bought for $150 in 1971?
