Not Your Father's Museum Intership

While I would love to own a bright yellow Volkswagon Bug, my bright orange Element provides more storage space.  This posting on philaculture.org does make me additionally wistful at the lack of a Bug.  Yes, I would drive through Phila with a giant bug on top of my car - what a creative, fun method of civic engagement!
