I don't know about the rest of the Vanagons, maybe you got a special
one, Kim.

Mine (1982 Westfalia, with 2056 cc air-cooled) is perfectly happy to
spin the tires when even the slightest spritzing of snow is in effect.
Far unlike our 1976 bus, which would climb moderate grades in the snow,
our Vanagon can't climb a speed bump, even with M/S tires.
