Volkswagen Beetle. Jet engine. Well, why not?

[dianeduane]

A gentleman with a Ph.D. in mechanical engineering from Stanford has created a street-legal Beetle with a jet engine stuffed in the back.

Best line from his erudite and fascinating discussion of this subject:

Jet keeps sucking the rose out of the bud vase on the dash!

And just wait till you see what he wants to do to his wife's motor scooter.

Now playing: Alan Parsons Project - Voyager

This popped up a few weeks back. Wish it'd show up at Chicago VW Treffen.

I don't think I'll be doing that to my Golf any time soon. But I do want a Stinger launcher to use on tailgaters.

Me too! Especially tail-gating semis going 70 mph in the right lane in a 55-zone!

Oh yeah. Don't get me started. Today on my way to work a guy in a red Chevy Monte Carlo with racing stripes and an "8" on it (not even the nice-looking ones; the awful redesign) got two inches off my bumper, then passed on the right (in an exit lane) because I was actually doing 53 in a 55!

You may be a Dale Jr. wannabe but that just makes you look like a pretentious jerk. The highway is not a race track, and you are not Dale Jr.
