Hey, Bobert...I had a VW bus a few years ago, and the Getaway used to be held in Prince William Park, 20 miles south of DC just off I95. As I was leaving there, MY clutch cable broke, and I drove that beast up 95 and around the beltway in moderate traffic! Such fun! When I had to stop,I'd coast to the breakdown lane and wait for a clear spot again. That was only the 2nd time in 35 years I'd tried to syncro-shift.
