@stux Um, it's a VW Beetle, though. Not a VW "Bug".

@y0ptivotzhe0n Beetle is a bug right?  (i know)

@stux I'm intrigued. What do you call it in Dutch? I have to assume it's your native language.

@stux So you don't substitute the "Beetle" for a Dutch word? Like in German it's VW Käfer, in the US they've translated it directly to "Beetle". And in Dutch it's not VW "Kever"?

Volkswagen Kever

Kever (like the German Käfer)

@martinlentink @stux Thanks. :) This seems to be universal for most languages in this specific case. Everyone translates the "Käfer".
