I don't know how people ever drove those cars.
I went on an ambulance call in 1971 where a VW Bug slid out into the highway, he couldn't stop at a stop sign, and went under a semi truck trailer that was traveling by at 55 MPH. We had a Funeral Home and back then all of the local undertakers owned ambulances. Of course the dude was killed, but what really freaked me out was, he was decapitated and his head was laying in the back seat. True story.
I vision that scene in my mind EVERYtime I see a VW bug or someone mentions them.
They were dangerous cars.
