I had to get a new car and for some reason a Volkswagen Bug was calling my name. I feel like whoever came up with this car took a creative risk because it is different looking than everything else. I feel like the car represents fun and young energy because it doesn’t look too serious. Their idea definitely stood out because they are so classic and have held their value over the course of time. I think it is so funny when I am at a stop light sometimes and I can see the people beside me hit each other because of the punch buggie game. Sometimes I think games like that are the best form of advertising because I don’t even know how it came about, but it keeps the product relevant. They also make the product feel more personal. There is this one old Bug in my hometown and it is painted like the one from the movie Herbie. I wonder if when people make movies like that they reach out to companies like Volkswagen to let them know what they are doing or if they have to get permission about anything. I also think about this when I see movies and they use a certain song. If I was an artist and they choose to use my music for something cool I would be so excited but I would also appreciate if they checked in with me to make sure it wasn’t used out of context.
