Tell me about it.

But this is the UN-aerodynamic thread (I posted that for the pre1930 models) Here's one for getting back on topic. When somebody drove into my 2nd Beetle, I cut the front fenders off and lost 5mph of top speed. This was a year or two after Gary Emory built the 'world's first baja bug' in SoCal. It also had rear fenders that were bobbed to the legal limit (24") but I don't have a picture of that.

Those front wheels are from the set I traded for the Dasher. I miss them and every Beetle I ever owned.
