Saw an ad in Georgia Straight for Jewish film festival going on in November. Among the rest there is this:

Do you think we can get special "rock star" parking arranged for our Beetles?

Clarkdale is the sponsor of the movie, I bet we could! Hopefully, my bus won't get discriminated against!
I just found this interesting snippets written by the filmmaker:
-------------------------
"Yishai Orian (Y.O.): "The Beetle" is the first film I have made after graduating "The Sam Spiegel Film School" in Jerusalem in 2005.
When I was a film student in Jerusalem I needed a car to get around so I bought the cheapest one I could find. I did not know then that the VW Beetle I had just purchased with all my savings would become the center of disagreements between my wife and myself – and the subject of my first feature film.
It did not take long for me to discover that the car I had bought for practical reasons alone was not just any old car. People do not remain indifferent when they see you drive by in a Beetle. This got me thinking about what might have happened to my car before it was mine. Who drove it? Who sat in the back seat? And do they remember the car?
As I became more attached to my Beetle, and more curious about its past, I started thinking about making a film about my Beetle."

If they had their say, they'd arrange it for the new imposters.

I know, I meant more along the lines of the actual festival organizers being VW friendly. To them, the actual aircooled Beetles would be a lot cooler.

It would. Let's see if we can organize something.
