I've seen your Volkswagen Bug in the background in your train videos on Youtube. I believe it's in the Herbie colors.

So that's what that Herbie Bug in the background is. A long time mystery solved.

There are rail buses in Ecuador with the steering wheel used as a hand brake wheel. The motorman uses the brake to slow down into a curve, and turns the wheel the same way whether the curve is to the right or left. It's supposed to be a bit discombobulating to see him turn the wheel to the right in order to curve left.
