Very nice, Dave! The article should be sub-titled "Suck, Squeeze, Bang and Blow"...perhaps a bit salaciously insinuative, but clever! This is a great asset for any new air-sucker owner and even long-time VeeDubbers can appreciate its clarity and instructiveness! My very first car was a 1962 Bug convertible, purchased in 1967 when I was based with the Air Force in North Dakota. I knew absolutely nothing back then about Dr. Porsche's masterpiece (and Onkle Adolf's KDF wunderauto projekt) but it hauled me around uncomplainingly without even a hiccup through the coldest ND winters, often getting me places where even some 4WD vehicles balked! That was the start of a lifetime admiration for this basic transportation solution. It's been decades since those days but I still have a favorite bug I lavish affection on (a 1973 Standard Beetle named 'Brummel'.) Good on ya, mate, for this fine article!
