Idiot Insurance Agent by
John J[_3_]
The thread on Chinese parts reminds me of my former Allstate insurance
agent. When I asked why his rates were so high for my Bug he said,
"Parts are expensive". I told him I could get a fender for under $50 and
he answered, "Well that would be a part made overseas and we aren't
allowed to use...

1st gear shimmy - Time for a new clutch pad? by
[email protected]
I have had some trouble the past few weeks. While sitting rolling up
to a red light a few weeks back I heard a pop - a click - and a spring
noise. It sounded like pinball parts falling around my ankles. I cut
the engine, and rolled my Bug into a service station to have a look.
But there was...

possibility of America’s first black president? Not necessarily the
way you think they would.

What is the aspect ratio of a 165 R15 tire? by
[email protected]
I went to a local Sam’s Club and asked the tire man if he could get me
some 165 R 15 tires for my classic 1973 Beetle.
He said he would have to know the ‘aspect ratio’ of the 165 R 15 so he
could look it up.

HVX Mods & Oil Cooling by
Bob Hoover
Dear Buglover,
Yes.* The idea of using #4 as a restrictor to increase either flow or
pressure has merit.* But I do NOT think the purpose was to improve
oiling of the main bearings.* As you know, the main bearings are the
source of pressurized oil for the connecting rods, although not on...

series of tests i have determined that the drafts in the cabin of my

it. That area...
