Those old VW microbuses were the worst for that. I had a couple of 'em, and I'm here to tell anyone within earshot that those 36- and 40-horsepower jobs especially were ill-suited to American limited-access highway use. If you weren't ready to steer out of it, you'd get sucked in to the wake of passing semis. Driving those things was like driving kites.
I spent my adolescence driving a Flivver. 20 horsepower, brakes which were mere suggestions, and extremely quick steering. I still always look for a "bail out spot" whenever I am driving in traffic.
