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 carved, to cover the entire exterior and also some interior details of the car in wood. The result is a spectacular wooden Beetle, minutely wrapped in a myriad of little, cute tiles. Even the hubcaps, the steering wheel and the windshield wipers are made from specially treated wood. Momir calls this masterpiece of a car he created a "labor of love". Indeed, you can easily see in the intricate detailing of each crafted part the [https://www.vocabulary.com/dictionary/profound%20affection profound affection] and care of the owner for his Beetle.

Today he can proudly ride with his wife in a unique car that no other Beetle owner possesses. He even crafted a matching wood cap for himself to wear while driving the wood-mobile.
