Well in this same VW wagon, last Christmas Eve, returning home in about 12" of
snow, chuggin' along about 45, we kept gettin passed by SUVs going 65. I
counted eight of them, no cars or even minivans, off the road in about a 20 mile
distance. Certain things make joy in your heart.....
But I've driven front wheel drive cars since the sixties with the Saab 2 strokes
(Chuck content). For some reason this VW wagon just goes and goes and goes in
the snow. Front wheel drive, 5 speed, I dunno....
