A jet-powered VW bug... why not right?

Some dude wanted to ‘pimp’ his VW Beetle with a jet engine. Which of course sparks the reaction, uh- well- why not right?

But he also wanted to be able to drive it on the open road, rather than just on a closed airport runway surrounded by fire engines and EMT crews.

His solution? A dual-engine vehicle, with a normal VW motor for day-to-day transportation, and a GE T58-8F helicopter turboshaft engine converted to run as a jet.

My guess is you probably don’t want to be caught behind him when he hits the switch on the jet… this is damn cool, if you've got time and money to blow.
