VW's Beetle has stirred a lot of love and passion over the years. Its design has survived decades, inspiring people all over the world in their daily experiences and being part of thousands of life stories. A perfect example of the special relationship that can develop between a Beetle and its owner is the case of the Bosnian retiree Momir Bojic. This 71 year old innovator has succeeded in turning his reliable Beetle into a wooden work of art that can still function like a regular car and be driven by Momir on the streets of his home town, Celinac. Momir used no less than 50,000 separate pieces of oak, each carefully hand [https://www.kynghidongduong.vn/tours/tour-trung-quoc-nam-ninh-truong-gia-gioi-phuong-hoang-co-tran-6-ngay.html tour trương gia giới] carved, to cover the entire exterior and also some interior details of the car in wood.

Momir calls this masterpiece of a car he created a "labor of love".
