Jet Powered Beetle.jpgMany things do not deserve the expression ‘Holy Cow’, but I think this is one that may.  Holy Cow!  Check out California’s only Street-Legal Jet Powered Beetle. 

Ron Patrick holds a PhD in Mechanical Engineering from Stanford University and my has he used his education well.  Patrick has engineered his Volkswagen Beetle to have two engines- the production gas engine in the front & the jet engine in the back.

Patrick states that he built the car to thrill him, not kill him so he does not know what speed the Street-Legal Beetle is capable of.  For more pics & info on this truly outrageous Beetle, click here.
