Sounds like the many years I've spent with VW diesels. A non-turbo in the dead of summer with the AC on and a 4spd trying to merge on an uphill on-ramp is just so sad you can't help but sit there and laugh about it(because otherwise you'd cry).

It get's better with turbo's and 5spd's and tuneing(and compressor cut out switches on the throttle and/or boost triggred). But those early days, man..
