"I wanna be among the first watchers; thus, I stay up until the wee hours of the morning and I deprive myself of sleep." Is what I posted an accurate statement?
@josephsamsor16987 жыл бұрын
Lol Why is everyone mad that he's "reviewing" the car. How the car drives is part of it, isn't it? How it shifts, starts, accelerates, how it feels, is all part of it. If he talks a lot it's because he's not only trying to make a review, but also because he's communicating things to the owner at the same time and making sure he's not going to screw something up. Talk a bit less, sure. But some people are just saying some dumb things
@Mattyew7 жыл бұрын
yeah, a lot of details about the drive like the way the stick shift moves about is something you can't feel through the video. Glad the audio comments are still aplenty

Some people can't understand that there's videos out there that *they* will not like, but that a *large number of other people* will like. They believe that every video for a channel they follow must be made with THEM in mind.

I did that to my karmann ghia. It has a 1.6l with dual carburetors and a header to make around 70hp. Old 356s had about the same level of power! Also, I lowered it all around and put period wheels from 1971 on it. I also put large sway bars and rebuilt the entire suspension. The car drives like a dream. The ghia in this video has to be worn to high hell if the ride is as bad as mr regular says it is. I also can cruise 70mph on the highway with one finger on the wheel and it feel very planted!

I had one. 1974 coupe. Its a bug in better clothing. With the short throw shifter and a medium sized person it was okay to drive. It lacked power of course. I traded it in on a 1978 280Z limited edition. A world apart.

how's that thing compared to your falcon with the original engine? Aircooled vw's were a right of passage in the 70's and 80's. Almost everybody had one until they could afford something else...or for a winter car because the rear engine imparted a lot of traction over the drive wheels.
