Between being nose-light, tail-heavy, not much downforce, and frequently saggy rear suspensions, Beetles get A LOT of air under their bodies, right on to that nice flat pan (that's now angled just a little bit up due to the above). Oh, yeah, they'll catch the poop out of a crosswind, too! A light nose on a wet road doesn't give much traction, either. All equaling a "pucker factor" of 10+ @70MPH.
Let's be carefull out there!
