Yeah baby! Mad dash bumper to bumper in lanes that are narrower than the car for 15 seconds, three lane cahnges, and then locking the brakes and parking in the traffic jam for another 15 seconds. Then repeat. It'll be interesting to see how the turbo lag gets mixed in for extra excitement!

One way street the wrong way is almost allowed, as long as it's only a short distance and you drive really fast. My wife got a warning, not ticket but a warning, for taking a short cut against the traffic ona one-way street. (She's got seven warnings and zero tickets in MA, must be the rack...)

ex wife? Mine rolled (5 complete rolls, landed on its wheels and was sort of diveable) a new (1967) VW down the center line of a straight flat level road through the cornfields of Indiana on a warm summer day. And she was sober too. Never did figure out how she did that one. I should have been forwarned, she drove an R2 Avanti through a house the year before....

I solved the problem in 1968. Great time to get a divorce, E3 in the military, absolutely no assets, almost no income...... That was actually a nice VW and I miss it.....
