Hope this doesn't bore everyone, if so skip it.
Gezz, VW Squarebacks, that sure takes me back. I had a 69 green SB with a sunroof, loved that car. Rebuilt the motor & brakes and put a new clutch in it, then drove it to my new job in MI from Philly area. Non-stop except for gas with never an issue. Thing ran like a top and a great cruiser, very comfortable but no headrests as I recall; not sure about seat belts, but who cared back in the day! Then a couple years later took a 72 SB to Jackman Maine to visit an old HS buddy and his new bride with my girl friend (her car). We were fine until we hit the logging road. Holy cow what a ride. Felt like one of those old gals one used to see on the dashboard with the head attached by a spring and did the hula. OMG, never thought we would ever get there. Almost turned back a couple times, but after about 5 hours we figured we had to almost be there, right???!! wrong, about another 2.5 hours and we arrived. Couldn't go more than about 45mph maybe 50 if we hit a wet area where the stones were somewhat buried. That car stood up to that torture better than we did.
The rest of the story. We got there had dinner and then passed out in bed upstairs. About an hour later my girlfriend and I are wide awake. With all the vastness of land in this geographical location, the house was built 20 feet off the logging road (you ain't seen snow until you've spent a winter in Jackman), so all night the house shook with logging trucks going past at about the same 45mph we did only carrying dizzyingly long trees stacked as high as a 5 story building! Laugh now, but I'll NEVER drive another logging road as long as I live.
