Only problem with my buddy Herbie is that, in the end, it's still just a VW Bug with the same issues the actual car had.

Ahh, but in terms of shear guts and heart, Herbie has them beat. Little dude never gave up (heck, he even split in two and won the race!) and he always helped get the girl or boy. What more can a driver ask of his/her car?

That's reality talking. In terms of movie magic, Herbie has em beat. I mean, without Herbie, you probably wouldn't have KITT or any of it's knock-offs.

Huh. Didn't know that. Still, everyone of a certain age group remembers Herbie.
