I've had air-cooled VW's most of my life. When I was 20 I had a primered/lowered '66 bug.
One night I got a 2:30 am booty call from a girl who'd shut me down all semester. I jumped in and started the 20 mile drive on surface streets to her place.
3 miles in, my clutch cable broke. There was no way I was gonna give up my chance to finally give her a spinal tap from the inside. I drove the whole way in third gear, timing the stoplights. When I had to stop a couple of times I just started the car in first and tried to match the revs to the speed to force the gearshift into the next gear.
I pulled into her driveway going about 30 MPH and almost rear ended her car. I did rear end HER soon after though.
Plus I had to drive back the same way the next morning
