Slow Car Sorry :-/
(cropped version of Honk all you want :-/ - Imgur)
Is this anyone on here? I saw a picture on here the other day, but it might have been an old thread. I looked through recent pictures and did not see anything.
Way down in the comments, we are briefly mentioned. There was also a fair discussion on needing to turn off the AC to accelerate that entertained me.
Cheers!

Hahahhaha I kinda feel that way in my Echo. I feel that its sorry, beat up look makes the statement on its own. But my truck...I am speed limited to 60mph, so I have toyed with the idea of having a magnetic call out saying "vehicle speed limited to 60mph" that I can put on the trailer. The abuse is far worse in a truck than a crapmobile.

I have an '83 VW Quantum diesel wagon which accelerates like a lawn mower tractor across intersections from a stop.
I recently added a custom rear license plate frame that says................
CLASSIC VW WARNING
0-40mph IN 3 DAYS!!!

Is it turbocharged at least? The naturally-aspirated ones that I used to see in the summer were really slow with just 50hp  |

I had a 1960 beetle, 36hp. It decelerated up hills. You could literally put a brick on the gas pedal when driving on the freeway.

I had a number of 36hp VWS, the 1956 sunroof was the earliest. Here it is around 1980, patina'd before patina was cool.
