Windshield leaked and shorted out the instruments in the dash. Massive out leak to the tune of 1 quart to every 20 miles. It was fun though when I took it in to McQuicks Oil Change one time and they brought the oil drain to the fron and looked up and got this "where the hell is it?" look on their faces. ;-) And going to a store and put the stuff in the trunk in the front. The thing did handle great though even with bias ply tires. Oh, well. Enough for the Chevrolet, back to the Volkswagens! :-)
