Hopefully James Glickenhaus can arrange a hit on whoever thought that it might be a good idea to drop an F40.

Techincally it shouldn't be called a rabitamino because it came from the factory that was. True -amino should be a do it yourself job. for the record I know I am a nerd

Though I know this car was probably birthed under the line "Alright, what the hell do we pimp now?", I can only dream that a couple of folks (or should I say Volks?) were standing beside this shoddy little Fow-Veh, either having picked from their professor who owned it for decades, or they themselves, after having pootled around for years in this little thing asked themsemselves, What the hell should we do to zis VW? And so it began.

@Suba-dude: Totally. This needs a stereo that only plays Paul's Boutique.

This is probably in violation of the Geneva conventions.

@elwood: It was a pimped/tuned F40, which is much more stupid than this.

The steering wheel should have had these instead: €, but otherwise this is pretty sweet. Making hydraulics work with a front-wheel drive strut suspension must have required some reasonably serious engineering, and this must be one of the few manual transmission low riders.

this proves once and for all that cars can not only possess dignity, but that their dignity can very brutally be taken away.

Just because something is different doesn't mean its good. Though I'll admit I might also walk by an F40 to see this, it'd be more motivated by the pointing and laughing rather than genuine admiration.

Looks like maybe Switzerland needs to build a border fence.

This vehicle makes no sense at all, and that's exactly why I love it so much.

The dollar sign motif just adds the final, crowning touch to the rolling non-sequitir.

Hell yeah, I dig it.

Is this a follow-up to yesterday's 'How much is too much' article?
