You've robbed a bank. Who's driving the getaway car?
Wonderbug's alter ego "Schlepcar" (so named due to its personalized California license plate "SCHLEP") was an old, beat up, conglomeration of several junked cars that looked like a rusty dune buggy. Like Herbie of The Walt Disney Company film fame, Schlepcar was alive and could drive itself, and could also talk in a mumbling voice. It was found in a junk yard by teenagers Barry Buntrock (David Levy), C.C. McNamara (John Anthony Bailey) and Susan Talbot (Carol Anne Seflinger). Schlepcar transformed into the shiny metal-flake red Wonderbug (vocal effects provided by Frank Welker) whenever a magic horn (which played the bugle call for "cavalry charge") was sounded. In his Wonderbug identity, Schlepcar had the power of flight and was able to help the three teens capture crooks and prevent wrongdoing. - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wonderbug

Wearing it proudly! This is a great design. I'm sad it won't be the final choice, but I was pleased to see it in the final six.

And so he walked, following the Twitterers as they thundered across the social plains in search of safety and content. In time, he arrived in this place that reminded him of the sky blue waters of home. Would the herd rest here for a time, or would they be driven on again? Only time would tell.
