I would assume the whole body is on a hinge at the back like a funny car.

 

Apparently the digital artist neglected to render that feature.

I would not be walking around in Tevas carrying that sumbuck. That’s just waiting to mangle a foot. Lol

When your "favorite mechanic" knows about the maintenance you've been deferring ........

When your favorite trusted mechanic is changing your 2002's plugs & points, and suddenly he starts scratching his head, so you look over his shoulder .......

Damn.  Fortunately it's the trusted mechanic and you were standing right there, makes it a lot easier to not be too upset.  Still sucks...

That's not as bad as it looks, there's nothing holding that ceramic center in there it should come out with a relatively strong magnet and allow you to work on the threads with penetrating oil and a screw extractor.

When your favorite and most-trusted mechanic completes that long-awaited engine swap .......

Want to like it but you made it slower noisier  and wheres the gas tank ? In the front ?

[zinz]

That’s some kinda different. It even has V Dub wheels...

 

Would you call it a VMW? 
 

Mint... didn’t you come up with a emblem mashup at one time?

I wonder if the body's sitting on an entire VW pan...

I'd call it a BMVW.

 

Yes...  a corn masa mashup.

Looks more like a BMW-"Karma"-Ghia.

When you are in the middle of nowhere, your 2002 hiccups very very badly, and you somehow manage to limp into a local fixit shop .......

 

And then the fixit dude says,  "Hey, no Problem, You Are Good To Go !!!"
