Have you seen this VW?
Ron Patrick has put together a website to feature his VW. Check out
the bottom of the site where he is thinking out-loud about creating a
dual jet scooter.

I love his quotes:
His response to somebody that he lower it, put some decals on it etc.
Caption for a picture with an office from the CHP standing there looking at it:

Sure kid, put on some flimsy wheels won't take a curb and don't center on the hubs, lower the car so the tires rub and get cut by the body using springs that bounce me all over the road, and advertise for companies that couldn't engineer themselves out of a paper bag.
We get this a lot. A police officer picking at his nose while trying to figure out what to charge me with. Notice the hopeful anticipation of us on the right. We're rooting for him and offer suggestions but unfortunately, the California Department of Motor Vehicles did not anticipate such a vehicle so he's out of luck.

Bet he would be the "Go To" DUDE if ya wanted to have a really HOT SOCAL beachside wienie roast....... As far as traction goes, since it is a harnessed JATO package, the tires would never see traction slippage (or probably not even pavement connection when he "launches").......
Heck we could mount one of these in the bed of our trucks and when a Powerchoke strands, we just hook up the tow cable, drop the tailgate, and roast and remove the offending traffic stopper.

Note to self: Do NOT smoke out jet powered Beetle in a bombed Diesel truck...

Forget that, I wonder if he can still HEAR!!!!
