This thing is seriously cool. NMNA, but I wish it was.

Slick little hauler

Probably not for those who live in mountain states.. but who cares If you are slow and look this good..

That is cool but unfortunately Ohio has hills that would be an issue with the rabbit on the back...

The popular Subie engine swap may help that.

Why not a Porsche flat 6? (in both)

It's not sexy getting it on and off.

It's really not sexy turning corners......

I used to have one of those. Awesome. Did 0-60 in about an hour and a half.

Note the picture with the Bug in the back is taken from a high angle to de-emphasize the fact that the rear is sagging a lot- that's pretty overloaded.

It would make a great shifter kart hauler.

The tie-downs really concern me. They look like they would be rated for about 300-400 lbs.

If that thing was ever in a wreck (even a fender bender), that car is coming THROUGH the cab.

I'd buy it in a heartbeat, but there is no way I'd ever haul a car with it.

I just realized- are those braces attached to the rear bumper?? That's a terrible idea.

I'm lowering my weight estimate by a factor of 10.

You obviously want it badly. Just get it.

I love those things. Doubly so the double cab. I would not begin to dream of pondering the possibility of using one as a car hauler.

I think about the biggest car you could safely haul with one of those would be something like a Porsche 550. IIRC they're actually rated to handle a 1000kg payload, but something like a bug is too big to balance correctly.
