Weight on the rear end and pushing it to get traction in the snow? |
Plus get weight out of the inside so the Beetle doesn't sink? |

looks more like new snow settling on ice to me so sinking isn't the problem but grip is. It's a case of 'winter draws on'  _________________ "we're here on Earth to fart around" kurt vonnegut

I have that same jack at home and my back hurts just thinking about lifting it in/out of the truck. Even with two people. |

Others here know better than me, but from what I can see the side mirrors are on the door hinges, not in the correct place to be a BD (on the A pillar) unless they were changed before the March (?) 1954 switch to the roof over hang. _________________ Prosit!

Thanks, I was thinking of looking it up but didn't do it.
Still the same phone # - that's surprising
It's a Franchise operation too and there's one only a couple miles from me.
I've never been there. |
