(check out the beginnings of a jet-powered scooter at the bottom).

Amazing technical work and a CODSM sense of humor.

I find it hard to grasp the fact that after all that work and engineering, he only raised the rear suspension to make the car look stock again. Yet he claims that the car "handles fine". Define "handles". Not that the Beetle is a skidpad champ, but I'd bet the bump stops are mashed flat.

Anybody see the video of the sky diver who made turbine boots?

As for where to buy... this is the World Wide Web, yo!

Here's a Youtube (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3Xo5GY4kDXg) of the turbine beetle. The peanut galley (people who comment) think it's just some guy spraying crap in a tube. Retards.
