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.

I'd love to see the reactions on the daily commute.
My only gripe is that the engine will be starved of air with the rear open like that.

| The big question is, does the rudder work? It would help with taking corners at speed, and with maintaining your lane in a strong side wind. |

I would expect there to be an area of low pressure behind the body with it just ending abruptly, so the engine may actually overheat. needs enclosing and air ducting to the fan housing.

There is a reason most planes painted are white.
Little planes like that have no provision for passenger cooling, because once you gain altitude you don't need it.
Taking off and taxing in you bake in those things, so driving it around town wouldn't be that much fun.
