Street Legal?
This guy claims his jet-powered VW Beetle is street legal, but I'm skeptical.
I'm not skeptical about how friggin' cool it is, though. http://www.ronpatrickstuff.com/

Re: Street Legal?
I don't even wanna know what he'd charge to build one of those.
 Then again, maybe I do.

Re: Street Legal?
That looks ridiculous. He should follow the advice of the car show, regardless of how crappy it may drive.
That thing looks exactly as described: A VW BEetle with a jet engine attached to the back. It does look cool from the air looking down into the rear window, but that's a view only birds get.

Re: Street Legal?
I find it amusing that he has a cassette player in a jet powered beetle.
