I get that alot too, I'm always beeping at beetles and busses. It seems as if I hardly ever get a response. I'll keep on doing it though. There are some times that other people honk back
have fun,

too damned many yuppies with no appreciation of
history these days. eurovan people just stare at you
when you wave at them. :( new beetle folks just glare
at you. in the old days, when there were so few of the
vehicles out there, every 'scarce' model waved at each
other ... MGs, Triumphs, BMWs, Porches, and, of
course, vw buses and beetles. not Mercedes however ...
they MIGHT nod their head slightly upon making eye
contact. ;) it was also a head-turner to see more t
han one of such cars in one place ... if you saw two
or more beetles or buses parked together, people
started staring. :) we were going to florida once in a
beetle and came up behind another beetle on the way.
we just tooled along behind them for many miles and
another beetle came up behind us. all three of us were
just driving along together, enjoying the ride, and
all the american cars going both ways just stared at
us as they passed. :) it didn't last too long .. the
first guy had to turn off and then the last guy turned
off, too. but it was neat while it lasted. :) unca
