That car really challenged my reflexes. I had constant problems with the idle. When I pushed the clutch in as I rolled up to a stop sign, the engine would cut off. So I had to learn to operate clutch, gear stick, accelerator and hand brake just to keep the car running when coming up to stop signs or red lights.

Lucky. My clutch went out so had to drive around town timing red lights and stop signs. Although I can shift a manual without a clutch it does get iffy from a near-stop. If the battery was up, i could start it while in first to get going from a dead stop.

Lived a few years in Big Bear Lake and the bug was great in the snow. Put on snow tires in the winter, with the weight of the engine in the rear traction was fantastic.

Only problem was the heater took forever to warm up and the defroster wouldn't work.

Bought an oil heater from Monkey Wards that replaced the dipstick, plugged it in to homes 110 V at night so the heater would work on cold mornings driving to work.
