That poor Beetle.
The University of Zero makes people do strange things. Nice paint though, maybe it's salvageable.

Ripe for an aero-cap of some sort, currently not very aerodynamic, few convertibles are.

I think that my truck might belong here, flat faces, lots of gaps for air to get in and weights 3,7 tonnes empty, although I manage a respectable 12 l /100 km that is about 19,6 us mpg or 23,5 imperial mpg.
I am hoping for a slight improvement on my next economy trip test as it now has a fuel pump that isn't leaking.

What is the truck used for? The side doors are interesting. Back in the stone age of US history, we used to have milk delivery trucks which had side doors sort of like this truck. They were positioned for curb side access. Thanks

The large one towards is a loading ramp for horses, and the smaller one just infront of it is for peoples. Maybe this shows it better
When I use to do multidrop deliveries I had a truck with a radio controlled side hatch, it saved so much time I could open it whilst walking to the door, take hold of the delivery press the button and lift the stuff out before the door closed.

Wow, that door setup is pretty amazing. I have about a million uses for a truck like that.
