Yellow Bug

"I stole a stolen car?"

- Emma to Neal

The Yellow Bug is a vehicle featured on ABC's Once Upon a Time and Once Upon a Time in Wonderland. It first appears in the first episode of the first season of Once Upon a Time.

Trivia

 * The car is a 1972 Volkswagen Super Beetle Type 1.
 * The yellow bug license plate is 836 M4X.
 * When Emma arrives in Storybrooke in "Pilot", the expiration date on her license plate is December 2011. When she finds Henry's storybook next to her car in "What Happened to Frederick", the date is still the same. Since "Selfless, Brave and True" establishes that Emma came to Storybrooke in October 2011, and "What Happened to Frederick" takes place after "Skin Deep" (which takes place on Valentine's Day 2012), this means that Emma has neglected to renew her license plate.
 * The yellow bug is featured in the title card of "Going Home" and "Smash the Mirror".
 * According to Emma, she picked the car because she likes the color yellow.
