Jet Beetle

AB12_15_05copy.jpg

This is a my street-legal jet car on full afterburner. The car has two engines: the production gasoline engine in the front driving the front wheels and the jet engine in the back. The idea is that you drive around legally on the gasoline engine and when you want to have some fun, you spin up the jet and get on the burner (you can start the jet while driving along on the gasoline engine). The car was built because I wanted the wildest street-legal ride possible. With this project, I was able to use some stuff I learned while getting my fancy engineering degree (I have a PhD in Mechanical Engineering from Stanford University) to design a street-legal jet car without the distraction of how other people have done it in the past - because no one has. I don't know how fast the car will go and probably never will. The car was built to thrill me, not kill me. That doesn't stop me from the occasional blast on the highway though.

I grew up on the classic Beetle and so did my spouse. Just got her a new Beetle for Christmas (her request along with jewelry) and I've driven it a few times. It's not that bad compared to the no name rental cars I end up driving on trips. But my 20 something daughter won't go near it....but she's into heavy iron (Broncos on steroids and lift kits).

Considering what she could have asked for, I got off lucky. She was overdue for an upgrade even though she drives a fraction of what I do.

What do you do that you had 3/4 of a mil to give her? You have to let us in on your secret

He's a retired O-5 and a senior Whale captain...

Oh, and just because a court or whatnot may order you to give an ex-wife a certain amount of money, it doesn't mean you actually HAVE that money.

Can we make a thread dedicated to all of A4s's legendary exploits now? I would think that it would blow the Chuck Norris thread out fo the water.
