Ayup! Dad was big into road rallies (Jag XKe) but he loved both the
little Renault and the VW for winter rallies. Lots of fun to be had
on the lakes in Northern Michigan in the winter. Course..you had to
bring out the snow plows a lot of the time just to find the
ice...shrug


In the 70's before front and four wheel drive were common an ice storm
would close the roads to traffic and the police, and open them for
play to the Beetles, Rabbits and Saabs with studded tires, and my
buddy and I on dirt bikes. I stopped driving down snowmobile trails
after they complained they couldn't steer because of the VW and bike
tire ruts.

Ayup! And you really could get some distance with that flat underbody
of the VW...nothing sticking out except for the 4 wheels. and when
you hit a snow drift..they would plane like a toboggan.

The methodology of the left has always been:

1. Lie
2. Repeat the lie as many times as possible
3. Have as many people repeat the lie as often as possible
4. Eventually, the uninformed believe the lie
5. The lie will then be made into some form oflaw
6. Then everyone must conform to the lie
