That is just nasty ^&% cold, No thank you. I would rather hide under a pile of dirt and sand than freeze.

That sure looks like a VW under all that snow.

JBS, I don't think he is that cold. It looks like he doesn't even have gloves on. He probably got pretty warm skiing, his poles are right beside. I did my Monday four mi. run yesterday, it was 15 degrees and was sweating hard when I was done. Gloves, ski hat, two sweat shirts and wind pants.....Frank

Bill, that does look like a beetle in the ditch.....Frank

The Beetle was made then ? I thought just the kubelwagen.

[Bill Hollinger]

The VW Beetle came out in the late 1930s. 1938??? It was Hitler's "people's car"
