very cool!
My wife tested out the belly pan on my beetle the other day. We had used my friend's truck to get my new truck engine, and it was snowing big time. We hurried up and got it unloaded, his truck parked and she jumped in the driver's seat to take the first leg on the way home. I looked down to text my friend, and in the deep snow and foggy windows she totally missed the turn onto his driveway and went into the pasture into what was at one time a mud pit for truck play. It was down hard on the skid plate.
I had to go get his Dodge truck I had just parked and pull my beetle back out :P
Those things are lifesavers. I have hit some big rocks in the mountains that would have cracked the cast aluminum oil pan.
