My brother and I used to ride home from high school everyday in his beetle...we had some fun times! Yes, sometimes it would stall in the middle of the road... :)

The highlights are burnt out and it's hard to evaluate something at this small size, but I have to admit it's growing on me as I look back at it. Bump up.
as soon as this popped up, i thought, wow, like it! i love the small proportions of the picture; usually a small picture looks a bit dopey compared to all the other submissions, but this time it just looks completely right. i love the tight crop, approve of the high contrast, and generally just love it. the title is perfect too - it really does have a happy demeanour and style... feels like a nod to happier times and era's, really. excellent picture, and kudos on the bravery regarding the size. 10.
I know you know this but it is too small. Had it been bigger I think I would have liked it. The exposure is good for the subject and it certainly has personality.
