Then go sit in Ted Bundy’s 1968 VW Beetle.

Well, you can’t actually sit in the car, but this serial killer’s ride is now on display at the museum in our nation’s capital.

Bundy-Beetle

Ted Bundy, no relation to Al, was convinced to the murder of 30 people from 1973 to 1978 and executed in Florida, 1989. His Volkswagen as acquired from a private collector in New York, who is probably as weird as Bundy was. According to Janine Vaccarello, chief operating officer of the Museum, “this is the first time that the car has been shown publicly since it was sold to a Utah police officer and subsequently auctioned to its current owner…” After receiving harsh criticism for displaying the piece, Ms. Vaccarello replied, “We’re simply reporting history. Bundy was probably the most notorious serial killer in history, and we are a museum on crime and punishment. “
