Driving Instruction

A few years ago the battery in my beat-up VW Beetle had died because I left the lights on overnight. I was in a hurry to get to work on time so I ran into the house to get my wife to give me a hand to start the car. I told her to get into our second car, a prehistoric oversized gas guzzler, and use it to push my car fast enough to start it.

I pointed out to her that because the VW had an automatic transmission, it needed to be pushed at least 20 mph for it to start.

She said fine, hopped into her car and drove off. I sat there fuming wondering what she could be doing.

A minute passed by and when I saw her in the rear-view mirror coming at me at about 30 mph, I realized that I should have been a bit clearer with my directions.

VW Beetles...

You obviously had one of the new versions of the Beetle, with an AT.
The original Beetle had the battery under the back seat and it was a regular occurance for the battery to die from lack of water. Mine did this at least 5 times in the 3 years I owned it. To its credit, all I had to do was add distilled water to the battery and get some help pushing it, (by hand) to pop the clutch and get it running. Then a short drive around the neighborhood for about 20 minutes and I was back in business. It was a great little car in its time. (I once got a ticket for speeding on the PA Turnpike. Trooper said I was doing 90 mph. I pointed out the the speedometer only went to 80 so he let me go with a warning. Actually the speedometer needle had would past 80 and he reached 20 mph - the second time around. Took me over 45 minutes to get it up to that speed.)
