One exception was early VW Rabbits where the brake lines ran inside

Really a LOUSY design.


This brings back memories!

A buddy back in college had a Floridian Rabbit, '75 I think. Total rust
bucket. As the car coughed and sputtered, dropping chunks of rust onto
the road, my buddies and I riding along would nod at each other and say
"farfegnugen, cool!"

My wife bought a '79 Honda Accord. It was car of the year. Nice car but
a total rust bucket. EVERYTHING rusted out. Hood, fenders, gas tank,
Strut suspension. I thought my '55 Ford Crown Vic was a rust bucket,
not even close. Honda fixed most of it under warranty, had to lose
money on that one. How does a hood rust? So much for Car of the year crap.
