    I feel like not many people under the age of 30 will get this. I think I may have even forgotten to force my own kids to watch it.

      I don’t know much about it anymore, but I remember some shady guys with a giant gold disk. Maybe it was a follow-up of the original.

      Edit: Found it, it was the 4th film of the franchise.

      I’m in my early 20s and I have this super vague memory of a beetle car being sentient. The only scene I remember is it spraying oil cus it didn’t like someone or something like that

      Am I thinking of the right movie

        Most likely you are, but there were like 4 original movies, and then Lindsay Lohan did a remake around 2005 that i forgot existed, so you might be thinking of that one.

        Just researched it up. The first Herbie movie (which was a huge hit and awesome) came out in 1968. Then there were like 3 more up to 1980, then a bad made for TV movie in 1997, and the Lohans pretty bad one in 2005.

      I’m over 30 and was only vaguely aware of it because it was mentioned once in a youtube video.
