Some think that if your beetle has a padded dash, it's an engine donor. Some think that if it has push button door handles, it's a boat anchor.
Do what you want. Ignore the elitists. Drive your VW. Enjoy life. |

How the hell do you turn that thing with those huge tires up front?? Obviously another one of those rides that was built for show and no go. |
Pretty sure there's a few slammed car with as little turning radius as this. |
Not so much turning radius as actually turning them. That's got to have either a modified gear box, or really big arms. |

Probably not much more than the cascade of water coming over the top of the windshield gasket.
