I don't get any details on most of these pictures. I just get them on a social media feed that is for the most part just the images. But that image looks like someone tried to make a regular beetle look like a Steyr.
Well, there's your problem. In the interval between AOL and Facespook, there were the news aggregators. Slashdot, Boing Boing and Fark. I still visit them every day.

Social media extract value from content that is (excepting 'selfies') created elsewhere. You in turn extract value from what is left. That double distillation leaves only the pornographic titillation visual aspect.

Ferinstance, that is not a Kohlruss VW. I forget what it is. The picture doesn't remind me, which reduces the value (to me) of seeing it. It's a Mercedes-Benz or something, if I cared, I'd take it to Tineye or some other reverse image search.

That ruby red Beetle in a rock quarry is a rendering. They got the lighting all wrong for the light-colored ground.

FYI the pictures from my album are from the NW Bug Run in various years. It's June [the] Third this year.
