I believe Air-Cooled VeeDubs need to be banned from freeways or anyplace where the speed limit is 65 mph and above for that matter.These cars don't belong on limited access highways. As logic dictatestheir engines are too inadequate for high speed use plus they aren'tsafe when drivin fast because of the drum brakes and now that they areall old they have warn out steering, suspension and brake components.Should congress pass a law that would ban these car from being drivinon our Freeways?

Forgot to take your medication today didn't you?My 64 beetle will cruise 65mph all day long and is much safer thenalot of cars on the road.MarioVintage Werks resto

Now there is a flash from the past....

BTW I cruised 2 hours yesterday on the highway in florida one way and only dropped under 75 mph when traffic dictated it. In a baja with a roofrack and 31 inch rear tires.

Just got back from a Full Moon Bus Club campout near the beach that took a little over 4 hours at an average speed of 65 to 70 mph both ways. Fully loaded aircooled westy with 3 people, half the fun was the drive there and back.
