That sounds like a drive I took from Detroit to Grand Rapids in a '68 VW

Beetle during a huge overnight ice storm. I was at the edge of traction

sliding the whole way but probably averaged 40-50 mph. The VW did well

compared to all the trucks and cars off the road.


That was courtesy of the rear engine weight and lighter front end, plus independent back suspension

My biggest problem


was the lack of defroster and freezing rain on the windshield that would

cause the wipers to stick. I cracked the windshield whacking it with my

hand to free the wipers... that and the gas pedal linkage freezing.


Too bad your bug wasn't equipped with a gasoline heater...


Yup, just a poor college student...
