VW Bug pulling a 5ver
Always loved this old video. Just saw it again. I'm sure some of you have seen this but for those who haven't, how cool is that?

Backing that contraption up would be a blind crap shoot.

When you think about it, that's really a pretty neat idea. Especially for the era it's in.

You're right Chiakwa way cool. I have a VW Bug diesel, TURBODIESEL of course. Lary is right, I wasted money on a truck, I could pull my gooseneck horse trailer with my bug.
