My '69 Beetle wanted to swap ends while applying heavy braking at high speed on a steep downhill gravel road. It never did swap ends, but not from lack of trying. It seems the bug wanted to have the engine up front, and do the steering from the rear!

I enjoyed the go-cart style handling of the car, but the brakes were pretty terrible.
