Take the nose-end of a VW Passat diesel and weld the front of an Opel Omega to the back, hop in the car with a buddy and enjoy some silly-looking shenanigans in the parking lot.

This seems like the best possible way for wrecked cars to be given a second chance at life. We're pretty sure the only driven wheels belong to the Passat, but the foolishness potential is not much diminished. Just take a moment to imagine the kinds of shenanigans you could get into with a contraption as shoddily constructed and inherently dangerous as this. It warms the cockles to see backwoods engineering alive and well in the old Soviet block. [via Glamcar]
