Strip the motor right down to the crankshaft and drive it in with the starter. :twisted:

I like that, it's the best one yet, the junkyard guys would probably say, "Hell, this guy's getting rid of a HYBRID, I'm gonn take this thing home myself" :lol:

I wonder how far you could go before the battery dies, or the starter burns up?

Probably not far enough, and I bet it would be a slow grind. I can just picture huge jams as it dies in the middle of a bridge. :lol:

get it towed to within a block... without any resistance from the crank, it should be able to get you there... :lol:

It's not like you would need to hook up the coolant system or any of the wires.

I drove a NA rabbit for about a month with no rad LOL yeah it overheated and died

hahaha did you at least put coolant in it??? thats awesome! "i thought it was aircooled" :lol:

Well it did have a rad in it but it had a gaping hole in it. I'd fill it with water before leaving and usually about 15 minutes later it would start overheating. I'd keep driving until it was about in the red and then I'd just pull over on the side of the road for 5-10 minutes while it cooled down a bit :lol:

I bet you were at the begining of the learning curve then weren't you Ha Ha" I wouldn't think the things would last that long. My son beat the guts out of 2 80 Rabbits I had years ago. He is now a 35 year old cop down in Georgia beating the guts out of the depts. police cruisers. :lol:

It wasn't my car. It was my cousins. I instisted that he should fix it, he said "it's fine, just keep driving it"

OK :lol:

This totally gets my vote. If not I'll send you my pump plus an extra $100 and you send me that giles pump. :lol:

could just cut a big hole in the floor and walk their
if your planning to use the starter idea take the injectors out..(no compression to do)
