This week's theme at Photo Hunter is the color orange. With Halloween just a few days off I'm sure there will be a lot of pumpkins and Halloween oranges. So, instead of a Halloween orange I chose a pumpkin colored VW. I captured this orange bug on the parking lot at Lowe's a few days ago. 
I have no idea how old it really is. It is just your standard old VW Beetle with lots of rust and a bad paint job. Plus, it is covered with the remnants of someone's attempt to give it that sixties feeling by adding hearts, flowers and peace signs all over it.
But, boy does it take me back in time. Back to my high school days in fact.
My very first date was with a guy that drove an old VW Beetle. It was a blind date with the son of one of my mother's friends, and the date was arranged by both our mothers. Never were two people more mismatched. Frankly, I don't remember the guy's name. But, I will never forget the way he looked. He wanted to make a distinctly bad impression so he picked me up wearing a dress. A spaghetti strap slip dress to be exact. And, I have to admit, he looked better in it than most of my girlfriends would have.
As to how the date went, I will leave that to your imagination. I'm sure whatever you think up will not be any worse than the real thing.
