The Beetle has a ****ing terrible car. I owned a 71, with the auxhilary heater, and the only thing it did, was keep your left knee warm, and destroy the left front tire. Also, I hated the washer bottle setup. It used compressed air, from the spare tire, to pressurize the washer bottle. Sooo, if you drove on a lot of dirty roads, your spare tire went flat, and well, yeah, that always works out well.
