"Actually, without even doing my additional homework, I'm pretty sure he broke down a VW by driving it in tight circles!"

I only remember his attacks on American cars. Unsafe At Any Speed was what brought him to the attention of most.

Now I will grant that could happen to a VW. It was a very cheap to produce design.

Which was sort of the point. At least it looked better than a Citroen 2CV.

Dunno about the Wiki. I haven't checked it. Why don't you and get back?

LActually, without even doing my additional homework, I'm pretty sure he broke down a VW by driving it in tight circles! What happened was that the oil got all stuck on one side within the motor block and the engine, starved off oil, broke down.

If this is not in on Wiki, something is missing.


Something is missing but it ain't Wiki. ;-)
