Seen but not photographed: Yet another VW Bug

More people drive Volkswagens than any other appliance.  That's a variation on an old joke, but it fits.  I saw what looked like a silver Bug, parked at night with manufacturer plates.  It had a black metal (Or plastic.  I didn't bother to stop.) strip along the bottom that looked like the place where you would put the switches.  Maybe it was supposed to recall the running boards, but it looked like a low slung toaster or an electric tea kettle.
