New beetle tdi 5 speed

I bought an 01 beetle in Missouri and drove it back to Florida.

Built pizza pan wheel covers and tried to keep it under 90 most of the way.

Averaged 33 mpg until I hit Florida. Not bad considering I was rolling 80-90 most of the way.

I did the resistor mod for more fuel, makes the car drivable with the air con running.. i need to replace that with a potentiometer so I can leave it unmodified when I don't need the extra fuel.

Anyway, I bought and installed a hitch so this little rig will be replacing a pick up truck for pulling my homebuilt travel trailer.

Would someone please do the aero template over my photo? Thanks in advance,
Dave
