I have been enjoying these old VW ads lately. I think they really hit on something with that car when they first built it. It was like they were decades ahead of their time with the concept. Build something that is both cheap reliable and iconic. They were true to the original design instead of wandering off of it and what they ended up with was a revolution not just a car.

I think we could use to learn some lessons from VW on this one. (2008 VW might want to learn some lessons from 1950 VW by the way)

Micah and I have been talking about how to deconstruct what they built with that car and apply it to our Eco-Urban houses. We came up with a couple things, but I know there is more there we are still missing.

In a lot of ways, it’s exactly what we are trying to do. Build small economical houses that are durable and iconic in design. Houses that are distinctively Eco-Urban. We want to start a movement around a new lifestyle; one that we can all believe in and one that will make the world a better place to live.

Just for fun I think we might go out and shoot a few LJ Urban ads with my video camera that borrow from the Beetle ads. Anyone know how to handle a camera and want to come help out?
