Back in the day, lotta people used this for that:Stunning car. When I get inside one of those, the smell takes me back to childhood...
Alright! What's your best "I can't believe I just got smoked by a VW!" story?
Don't have on of my own but some folks still don't realize those cars had fantastic power-to-weight potential from that little flat 4 especially in the large displacements.
Heck just an exhaust extractor and dual carbs were good for like another 15 horses; and no less a personage than Dan Gurney won a race in the Bug that might have started it all, "Inch Pincher":
"Herbie" (always wondered if that name was a sly nod to the hippies' favorite smoking material) quite likely was inspired by some notorious VW dragsters which were popular out here in sunny CA at least (and Dread, the little yellow "beach buggy' is actually one of 'em):
And 10 California Brownie points to the first person who ID's the car in the foreground of this shot.
