    Of course I've seen a Beetle and a Datsun 280ZX. The Z was just recently too. Trans-Ams, Corvettes, the Porsche that Cliffjumper is (and NOT what that picture says either) , Luminas (W.A.R.S.) ... uhh... Nissan 300, Most cars that were Alternators of course... Fiero,

    Uggg but also why is Dion called "U-Haul Robot" ???

    I've seen a broken down little yellow Beetle parked on the hill, and I always think of Bumblebee when I see it. I think I've also seen Vortex's helicoptor mode at the airport.

    To this day I still see vintage yellow beetles all over the place. Some of them are in pretty good shape too.
