I'm thinking back when I had a 1976 VW Super Beetle back in the mid 1980's.

I drove my two heavy sisters and my brother which had just bulked up muscle mass while in the Navy, and the car felt really funny.

I opened up the glove box to see a plate/tag notice of a 400 lb weigh limit (like a row boat).

I had over loaded the vehicle to around 600 lbs, and it sucked.

EDIT:

I just checked the owner's manual.

Maximum Load Capacity 529 lbs.

I should be able to carry another + 340 lbs besides myself.

However if 300 lbs were concentrated in one seat I think that would make for a bad day out on the twisties.

I'll have to ask my friends how much they weigh now.

It will be just like in the Transporter movie.

How much did you say you weigh?
