Long, strange trip ending for VW's hippie van

[koalabear]

It carried hippies through the 1960s, hauled surfers in search of killer waves during endless summers and serves as a workhorse across the developing world, but the long, strange trip of the Volkswagen van is ending.

Brazil is the last place in the world still producing the iconic vehicle, or "bus" as it's known by aficionados, but VW says production will end Dec. 31. Safety regulations mandate that every vehicle in Brazil must have air bags and anti-lock braking systems starting in 2014, and the company says it cannot change production to meet the law.

Didn't Brazil also produce the old school VW Beetle for the longest of time? If they don't still.

How do you say "let it go, dude" in Portugese?

Ah, the Pee-Wee comeback. A classic. Lame, but classic. Sort of like that van.

That was pretty funny. Took me a minute to figure out why he was trying to get you from Brazil to Brazil.

This past week, speaking of VWs (and this will go over the head of many of our posters), I saw a bug painted like Herbie...
