A Thing would be far more preferable and useful than a K-Ghia I think. The Thing is about the only bug based vehicle I admire very much.. Though really old Bugs are interesting and 'pure' in what they are. I had a 54 Oval Window Bug once.. semphore turn signals too.

but yeah ..a Thing. I can dig that even if it is an air-cooled VW . A nice inline four water-cooled engine would really make it great.
