I think I'd like the scooter, though I suppose the extra non-VW engine would come in handy when the stock one quits working in the beetle. :-D

Well, to each their own. Whatever floats your boat. Could've been worse. Like whale fins on an a new Cadillac for example. Or an AWACS-style dome on a hippy van. Or pimpstar wheels on a VW Fox.

I'm sorry, but...

You mod an *old* Legacy (so do I, so don't sweat it, I'm just making a point). I would think you'd have a little more respect for creative projects. Yes, considering, he could be yet another rich asshole driving a Mazerati or Porsche, but instead he bought an inexpensive vehicle and made something unique. I fail to see where he's being such a tool.

Bouchebag is hard to spell and subject to typos :?

Can we shorten it to "DB" :?:
