"A nation can survive its fools, and even the ambitious. But it cannot survive treason from within. An enemy at the gates is less formidable, for he is known and carries his banner openly. But the traitor moves amongst those within the gate freely, his sly whispers rustling through all the alleys, heard in the very halls of government itself. For the traitor appears not a traitor; he speaks in accents familiar to his victims, and he wears their face and their arguments, he appeals to the baseness that lies deep in the hearts of all men. He rots the soul of a nation, he works secretly and unknown in the night to undermine the pillars of the city, he infects the body politic so that it can no longer resist. A murderer is less to fear. The traitor is the plague.”

It holds the record for the car in continuous production the longest. Until well...now really they had been cranking them out. You couldn't buy them here, our crash test standards were too stringent but in places that didn't have things like that you could still get them.Originally posted by Zephyr

The basic jeep (CJ) hasn't changed that much since 1945, but the Beetle has it beat by over 10 years (the prototype beetle was produced in 1934).Originally posted by ramminghard

VW had the old Record for highest selling car of all time, the old Beetle at something like 21,000,000, now that record is surpassed by the VW GOLF! at apx 22,000,000 now. Crazy amounts!
