I chose this Volkswagen Beetle "Bug" for my card. I don't remember any with flames but oh well. Because of the flames, I chose red instead of a crazy 70s color.
Although I was a kid, I remember this car. My family traveled every summer and we didn't do it flying. We took a trailer and spent hours in the truck. One of the car games my sister, brother and I played was "slug bug." Whoever said slug bug first got to slug someone. As you can guess, we had to stop slugging each other. lol. So we counted them.
I got this Gina K Designs set, Heartily Your, back when I was a guest designer. It came out in 2009. How time flies!

My best friend in SF had a beetle bug and named it Flash because it couldn't go fast at all! She loved that car! Your card is fabulous as that was about all any of us could afford. I, however, bought a one year old used Mustang that I loved! I could definitely beat Flash! Great card for the era!

Ha, Volkswagen bug definitely harkens back to the 70's! My DH tells the story of his older sis putting funky flower decals all over the outside of her green Bug and his older brother didn't want to be see riding in that girlie Hippie car! Too fun!
I wonder when "slug bug" became a thing. We didn't know about it and never played it but I have heard of it since I moved to GA. Your card is super cute!
