Super streamlined VW 'Bug' ( full boattail )
 

This was built on a VW 'beetle' chassis.

Ironic.


I wonder what his drag coefficient is now :D .

how do they see?

Nice Boat Tail .. hehe

Why, with the antenna's of coarse

Looks like a beetle.
Or a grasshopper.

I've seen specs on that car somewhere... it's been around for awhile. I'll look through the history on my old systems and see what I can come up with over the next few days.

PS - I don't think anyone noticed the caster wheel on the back of the boat-tail... in case the car does a wheelie. :P

It's a cockroach.

Ya, I think it's supposed to be a cockroach... nasty lookin'... and the caster's to avoid scraping the tail on a transition (driveway, entering a parking lot)... tho' you'd better have some momentum to keep it from hanging up the drive wheels!

A distant relative of this one: VW Bug Spider Sculpture by David Fambrough in Reno | VW Beetle turned into a Volkswagen Bug Spider Sculpture in Reno, Nevada | Cities & Places Photo Gallery which has been infesting various places around here for years :-)

that car bugs me (sorry, couldn't resist)

Where's Paul Bunion's huge boot when you need it? <squish>

Paul Bunion?? Bwahahaha!! Did you mean to say Paul Bunyan?

that one would be a shoe-in for the top corny jokes of all time. Heck, if we were competing, I'd have it all laced up. Not like those other heels, my stuff has sole, you know what I mean? Just trying to stay one step ahead of the next guy. I gotta go, before they give me the boot...

D'OH! *slaps forehead*

Oh now you made me think. In Miami years ago their was a roller skating rink called Hot Wheels. As part of their advertising they had a couple of driving roller skates. Seeing the roach, it would have been a perfect scale like this one ...

Enjoy ..

I'd bet this thing scares the crap out of kids in the back seat when they see it drive up behind them !

This is just screaming for a chase scene a-la Benny Hill :D

I really wish I could see the pictures of this. I guess I will have to make a few posts first. I just mocked up a boattail idea on my '59 beetle, I would like to see this one to compare.

MUY CALIENTE!

More Shoe Shaped Cars

If I were him I wouldn't have left the cockpit exposed to the world. Of course he may wear a full face helmet to hide his face while driving.

Is that thing even street legal? i don't see reg plates or tail lights

D*^# I hate roaches. Only roach I liked had a leafy center and smelled funny :D

move over Jay Leno
 

Extremely LOL.Thanks.Metro,I think you have a future with NBC or ABC or CBS or somethin'.Really knocked my socks off!

If it were to get into an accident, would it squirt a nasty yellow colored fluid all over the place? And does it prefer sugar water to gasoline?

These jokes are killing me!!!!

I love Houston's art car parade!

Is a rooster tail as good as a boat tail?
