That's what ditches are for, to lower the angle of attack.

And to watch closely when you are loading and unloading off of a trailer!

Did I say that?  I think what I really said was that I agreed with RK Smith in that rust buckets should not be featured in Hot VWs.

sammie, i'm only joking when i say this but in hot vw's you said you didn't understand why people take rough vw's slam them and put a mtor in them and drive.
 
here is the reason why:

because when they lower there bus and have a somewhat steep driveway they forget about the driveway and slam into the incline causing damage on there freshley welded in front end.
 
bus ran great, throttle spring broke while i was in the second venturi so i had to kill it real quick becasue the throttle was stuck wide open. replaced the return spring and it drove farily well, had some brake issues, i need to adjust and rebleed them again. and then i slammed into the driveway...got wedged on it and had to rev the motor really high and pop the clutch to get enough umph to get it off the driveway...backed up and angled it in just fine.
 
THE BUS IS ALIVE ONCE AGAIN!!!!! sunday i will probalby get out and test it a bit more.
