Then And Now

German Engineering, Past and Present
In flickr I titled this 'German Engineering, Then And Now'.
Someone commented that the Smart Car was French.
Maybe that's what they teach French kids in school.

I used to have the use of a red VW beetle, we called him Scorch. Nearest I had to a smart car was a Swatch watch! Nice capture.

I also prefer the one in front. It just looks so much better.

Oh, how I loved my VW "fu fu!"--wish I still had it but it slowly rusted to death.

I learned how to drive on a 61 bug...it was a fun car...it went to college with me and stayed until I was married and moving up to more contemporary bug...one with a gas guage!!!

I think it rusted to death too Kate...

i often wonder, but i cannot imagine, whether 100 years from now people will think the same about our stuff now, compared to their stuff....
