For the Fire Goddess — the one who would still buy the bus if it came up for sale.
A 1969 Beetle in red, covered in flower decals, embroidered onto a patch. The car that carried an entire generation to places their parents did not approve of, reduced to its essential shape and its essential decoration.
It goes on a denim jacket, a duffel, the back of a vest. Anyone old enough to have ridden in one will say something to you about it, which is arguably the point.
