Subaru + Beetle(not what you think)

How about something unique and handcrafted, guaranteed to make pedestrians walk into trees as you drive by? Say, the unholy union of a 1973 VW Beetle and a 1985 Subaru GL, with both engines still intact and functional and priced at $20,000? Working two gearshifts might be tricky, especially if the car also has two clutch pedals, but it goes without saying that this car must be driven using both engines simultaneously

Why do that?? You'd want to make money out of show appearances because there can't be any other reason!!!


pod - October 27th, 2008 at 08:40 PM

it looks all out of proportion:crazy:

RISKYBUG - October 27th, 2008 at 09:18 PM

wtf?
id like to have a drive !


GTMac - October 27th, 2008 at 09:39 PM

Its butt ugly but it does look well done. See where the gearstick is for when you drive it as a VW!! or maybe the rear passengers change for you.

Stupid question, where do you put the luggage? :lol:


warb - October 27th, 2008 at 10:41 PM

LIFE IN THE LOW LANE - October 27th, 2008 at 11:08 PM

You'd just drive it around using the VW motor. Be the fastest that subaru had ever gone ......


the customer - October 28th, 2008 at 07:32 PM

that is one of the wierdest things i've ever seen. you'd need to be a bloody octopus to drive it! what a watse of time and money and a vw.

cheers
Matt

What the ? That takes the cake :no:


grumble - October 28th, 2008 at 08:30 PM

some people obviously have too much time on their hands,but on the other hand it does look very well done even though it is ugly.

I can appreciate the engineering and the work involved but seriously - this is by far the worst bad idea since ..well, ever.

And the purists whinge about kitcars. SHHEEESH!


helbus - October 28th, 2008 at 10:32 PM
