This is whaty the "AG" means on that description Aktiengesellschaft. Great episode. Thanks very much.
No they don’t want them to last we are now in a disposable society now which sucks for us classic car folks who only drive a few hand full of miles a year tires now are supposed to replace after 5 years I heard but I’ve seen tires as old as 2 years dry rotting it’s pathetic
I always learn something new from your videos, keep em coming.
Tyres used to be made of rubber
My uncle drove VWs in the 70s. He was a plumber for the city of Chicago parks dept. He installed Good Humor bells behind the front bumper. He used them if he had to go on one of the Lake Michigan beaches. People didn't pay attention to the horn but they would for Good Humor 😋
My tires last, sun don't shine where I live
The reason why new tires don’t last is called “planned obsolescence”. Companies deliberately make inferior quality products so you, the consumer will buy them again. It’s all part of the real owners of this country fleecing you out of what they consider their money.
Do you have any bug for sale?
I’m sure they didn’t but it’s volts wagon ever have an air conditioner in the cars
Don't know much about how the 70 beetles are built. It appears to be a unibody configuration. all that unibody rust would concern me.
Ah yes, "The old beat the tire to seal the bead" I have seen Mustie do this on about 5 videos, it never works… Hahaha
owned a 69 beetle, best car i ever had
Damn, I woulda never thought of beating the tire to submission for stop a leak. Your King of Getting it done with nothing (of course adding your time, knowledge, and forethought to have 90% of the parts within an arms reach from hoarding the right things! Your stash is ridiculous.
That black, gummy paint under the rear arches is called 'schutz' or 'protection'…
And it's done it's job!
That tire machines is just beyond wore out. Its not the model thats bad
No stupid music, no stupid editing. I like your videos. Subscribed 👍🏽
The Germans were ahead. That computer style print for the date of manufacture looks way ahead of 1970.
