A Rabbit Diesel!

I knew a guy who had one of those. He said it wasn't fast enough to get out of it's own way.

My family had 2 rabbit diesel's, and 2 diesel VW pickups (rabbit with pickup bed).

The diesel gelled in really cold weather.

I remember reading a Consumer Reports article about the Rabbit diesel back in '79 or '80. Right off the showroom floor, they clocked its 0-60 time at 19.6 seconds.

My brother-in-law had a Rabbit diesel and when his brakes went out, he just turned on the a/c when he wanted to stop.
