Whats your scariest moment in a cal-look bug?
Speed-Randy:
august 1983, i had just spent the day installing my adjustable front beam in my first vw, a 65 sunroof, with my uncle who lived in yuciapa. finished it up around 8 pm, my dads brand new dodge ram d-50 had just had a ladder rack installed and was at my grandfathers house not to far from my uncles so i figured i would just tow the vw home and kill 2 birds with one stone. my grandfather warned me not to go to fast because the weight could cause problems stopping safely, so i hopped in the truck and started westbound on the 10 freeway at 55mph. all was going great until i got to sierra ave in fontana, a german sheppard appears out of nowhere and decides my lane is the best place to look around, i SLAM on the brakes. SHIT HITS THE FAN, instant jack-knife, the truck is doing 360's, my bug is doing cartwheels, shit is flying everywhere. suddenly all is quiet and i open my eyes, no pain so i must be alright, glass is in my lap from the broken door window, broken windshield, i look in the mirror and realize i t-boned on of the eucalyptus trees on the side of the road and wasted my dads new truck, hes gonna be pissed to say the least!!!! now i start to look for my car, not to far away, only about 10 feet, to my right, on its roof, leaning against another tree, completly totaled, wasnt a straight panel on it, 2 cars in less than 5 seconds gone. the good news, the dog was unscathed, i guess thats good news :-\

there was the time I got off work and walked out to my Bug and found a huge, hulking German Shepherd panting inside of it. I had left the windows down behind my work and the vet next door thought the dog looked cute in my car.
WTF?

Not so much driving, but having the cops pull their guns on me and a friend after they pulled us over. Guess we should not have jumped out of the car so quickly. ;D

I very good friend of mine's daughter just turned 16 and he purchased here a late model New Beetle convertible.... After two months of ownership, she got a ticket.... a biggie. Going 110mph on the Riverside Freeway, by herself... The New Beetle has since been sold.

Tell him to replace it with a 25hp split or oval. Wont have that problem any more. :D

PS: I thought about recommending a bus, but that could present other "issues". ;)
