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... |
