Thats was all great till Bjuice took the Beetle, crammed a motor in the front and went drag racing! :lol:

Yep, blame it on a drag racer. Just had to go faster! lol

How in the world did they actually think the roof would hold up??

didnt they say "it attaches to a reinforced roof" ..... lmao

That's what I was thinking. The whole dang car needs reinforcing! lol

You gotta admit it is cute as hell and it would freak you out to do a quick 180 and push it into place.

Thats freaking awesome!

I bet somewhere there is a Beetle owners club,and one of their members owns one of these setups....and he gets aaaaaaall the Beetle Ladies. :wink: :wink:
