Street Legal Jet Powered Beetle (2006)

I was thinking of putting it into an import car show but the promoter told me that it looked too plain and recommended that I put some decals on it, lower it, and put on some aftermarket wheels.

/me boggles. This is either a joke or an incredibly sad commentary. "I built a jet car!" "Yawn. Where's the bling?"

The sloppy layout made me think "blog spam"... quick Google search turned this up. http://www.ronpatrickstuff.com/

Nevertheless, it's pretty amazing.

Oh I agree, that didn't stop me from reading the entire thing :)

I'm thinking interesting project, but beauty of design points = fail.

For the ultimate in elegant, jet powered simplicity, I think Mr. Maddox and his pulse jet bicycle is leagues ahead:

I just want to see this thing pass me, full after-burner on.
