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

Forgot to take your medication today didn't you?

My 64 beetle will cruise 65mph all day long and is much safer then
alot of cars on the road.

Dear eastwardbound Lemming Troll,
Here is an example of a worn out old VW, with it's inadequate
engine,poor brakes and sloppy steering. Enjoy. Bring on your
rice-mobile,or even your big blocks ,for that matter.

The VW came from the land of the Autobahn --- virtually no speed limits
there --- so how long will your Pinto do 75 mph?

Since everyone is feeding the troll, I'll put in my opinion. If the
speed limit is 70, it is to be the LIMIT, not the mininum speed which
will also be posted. Any where in between these posted limits is the
legal range of vehicle operation. What an idiot.
