Let's put 'em all up front of the new year and get it over.


  • Flaps will make your engine overhead and die.
  • The 009 dizzy was designed by God himself.
  • The bigger the carbs the better.
  • If your engine won't idle, retard it until it does and don't sweat it.
  • If the engine stalls, retard it more.

** Yeah, the exhaust headers are supposed to glow bright red
  • High octane gas makes you go faster.
  • Loud pipes save lives.
  • You can buy a fast, reliable engine for under 00.

** And the red engine is faster than the blue one.
  • Heat risers last forever

** A copper coil wrapped around the manifold is better
  • IRS is better than the so-called Swing Axle
  • Heater channels aren't important
  • Synthetic oil will cause bearing skidding and hair loss
  • The best filters are orange


  • John Conoley can't spell his last name right

  • There _really is_ a Joey whats-his-name
  • If Stafford ever answers a complicated question just say "Huh?"
  • If he doesn't follow-up and admit he's an IDIOT, then it's a forgery

MMmm, smells good, pass it on dude.. :0)

There are some that must be added

  • Axle nuts are fun
  • WD 40 helps with stubburn axle nuts
  • Platinum spark plugs last forever
  • The more expensive the oil, the better
  • Sometimes Ant makes lost watercooled newsgroup users feel welcome
  • Axle nuts are fun
  • Cutting your springs makes your SB ride better
  • Shimmies are a form of hallucination
  • Thermostat and flaps are just decorative
  • Axle nuts are fun

I'm pretty sure there are more. BTW, did I mention that axle nuts are fun?

you forgot...

vw's dont rust

heater channel replacement is fun ... actually it is!

idiots can see a 37 year old classic beetle infront of them, and they decide to rear-end it any way

Karls,

I've heard that axle nuts are fun. Any truth to that?
