Doesn't even look stable. One hard brake and you will be on your nose. Looks like it belongs on a rail track not the road.
Why? Some people just have more time and money than the rest of us.
-
Because photoshop, that's why.
If it is real I don't think braking would be an issue with the weight of the motor so low and far back.
-
I've not seen one with those giant wheels but shorty busses and vanagons do exist. I've seen a couple in person. They turn like crazy and yes, they look like they'll flip, but they're pretty cool.
-
I like this pic better...

Why? is short bus no? What does that tell you then. All you need to know is right there. ::)
-
I think they need a picture with 17 circus clowns in it.

It is probably pretty light, which would be nice like my old rabbits. I used to pick the rear up and have my friends put jack stands under it so I could work on it. It was funny and 100x faster than my jack. You could probably do the same thing with this. I stopped the practice when one time the bumper started to let go a bit.
-
You used to pick up a rabbit? Jesus. You must be strong.

I dunno man, that is outrageous! lol I consider myself to be able to dead lift quite a bit of weight, but never the back end of my car..
However, are the Jetta's much heavier ass-end wise than the Rabbit's?

I lol'ed at that.
Yes, I am not too weak still, if someone had a donor rabbit with not much in the back but a spare and wouldn't care if the bumper let go in the process I would give it a shot again. Back in the day when I used to lift weights I drug free dead lifted 685lbs in a competition. I could have done a little more, but didn't need to. I never did it official in a competition, but during workouts I could get 710lbs. I failed at anything higher. I could squat right around 575lbs max, but never got it in copetition. I never had a bench press in competition over 365lbs, again, not needed in my age group. But I used to do 8 sets of 3 reps with 315lbs. This was over 10 years ago, but I am still somewhat strong. My guess is I could still bench around 300lbs max and deadlift around 500lbs max. I wasn't ripped like the body builders, but I was built ok, now not so much.

WOW. Had absolutely no idea.. On your face book pictures you look like the cutest cuddly teddy bear! :-*

I try to keep telling you guys I am only nice online.
I will rip one of the embarrassing pics my wife loves so much and post it.
EDIT: I was younger, but as you can see still have a bit of the gut hanging over the belt area. Strong as I could be though. I usually don't post this kind of stuff as I get embarassed eventhough I shouldn't.

No earring. Must just be the oil from my skin. I did, ashamedly have my left ear double pierced my first year of high school, this was much later.
-
So, ahh.....what year did you start eating cooked meals?
-
Damn in the right picture on your right ear it looked like an earring. Either way what was it like to be in "New Kids on the Block?" Do you still get mad royalties? ;D ;D ;D :P

am i missing out on a vwdiesel facebook registry or something

holy shizz dude... had no idea.
-
Yeah, here I am driving little VW's and all my friends are saying "Grape Ape, Grape Ape" and of course Donkey Kong, pretty much anything like that, they said it looked so funny to see me roll down the road in the old 81 rabbit as it looked like I wouldn't be able to get out of it. LOL
-
Didn't know John Cena posted on these boards!
. . . oh wait. ;D
Damn man, now I understand why all that great welding you did on my DP was so even. Hands of beef don't shake!
And OT, folks have done that to late model bays quite a bit. As long as it saves another bus that would have gone to the crusher for bad frame rust then hell yeah I'll support it. I like it as long as it's done right with good straight lines; quality is obviously the make or break on this one.
And big cheap shiny wheels is that stuff I don't like. >:(
-
Never watched John Cena, so I cannot comment.
I am with you though on the "saving what is left" of the harder to come by VW stuff.

WWE wrestling dude, IIRD. Grew up in the late 90's, in a southern state (VA), so not knowing something about wrestling was a liiiiitle hard. ::)
And here's a good example of a well-done shortie bay.

Good lines, good paint consistency, and good lack of stupid rimz!
On the other hand, there's this . . .

Save 3 busses from the scrapper at the same time! And give 2-3 others a fair to good condition set of front and rear clips to fix those rear-ending accidents!
Hope that thing has a flat-6 conversion, or else DAMN.

A friend of mine and I were recently chatting about making a stretch vanagon/eurovan. Put the Euro front on it with the Vanagon back half and have a four wheel drive DUAL ENGINE stretch. ;D

This showed up down in Portland while we were visting. It even has a TDI in it!

-
Yeah, I've seen that one.

I wouldn't want the stretch without the dual drive. Two TDIs, tho, would actually move along really well and still probably get lower to mid 20's in fuel economy.

look at that schwinn!!! :o :o :o
