I had to be real careful when pulling into the passing lane at 60 mph. Chances were a Porshe 911 Turbo would be bearing down on me at 120 mph before I could get around the VW bus. That was a real adventure.

Hey I road in one of those 4 on the tree taxies in Italy once.
I also almost bought one in the early '80's, but bought a used '75 Old's '98 with only 42,000 miles on the clock. Sold it a year later, the wife hated the car because it was so big.
Not to mention it was a gas hoggggggggg.
