classic. I have very similar memories of the same happening in a Golf at night on a winding country road in the hills where I grew up only that the whole electrical system stayed dead. that was in the late 80s. no cellphones or any of that fancy tech the cool kids have these days.

I have almost died in 3 separate VW's over the years. VW van - complete brake failure driving down Mt Tamalpais. Driver ran into a tree to save us plunging to our death. VW camper van - Driving down I5 and the rear axel fell off and we weaved and veered uncontrollably off the road. Plus the above mentioned electrical failure at night in the middle of Hwy 101 LA traffic. I never owned one and rarely drove them but there you are. I'm cursed with the awful things
