Rest in Peace, Dean Jones!

I'll just say that I probably saw "The Love Bug" about a zillion times as a kid, and I wanted to be character Jim Douglas when I grew up. Peace, Dean Jones, and thank you for very pleasant memories.

So sad! R.I.P.

Same here. Probably saw Monte Carlo more than the Love Bug as a kid, wanted to be Jim Douglas saving Julie Sommars when she crashes in the lake. Re-watching the Love Bug as a sort of tribute. Wish I could have met him.

I wish I could have met him too. Seemed like a genuine person, at least on screen.

Agreed, saw so many of his movies and felt the same way.
