There is somehow a feeling of dispondency that comes over you when you see the tailights of a bug pass you in the traps.

Used to be a guy w/ an old bug that ran a Porsche motor out back- had some exotic intake w/ 2 huge carbs sitting on top of a snake of tubes placing the carbs up near the rear window. Out back- it had a chute & a long single wheelie bar. This monster would click off mid 9's all day long. Used to love watching people's reaction when some serious backhalfed Chevelle or Nova would race the bug & it was the bug that was playing catch-up!
