Article: A jet propulsion VW Bug

Yep. It was only a matter of time before someone strapped a surplus General Electric jet engine on the back of a Volkswagen Bug. :)

I would say that this guy is a contender for a Darwin award, but I really can't since he's an expert (and a PhD) who's just tinkering around. He's not like the guy who tries to put rockets on his bike and jump it over a barn.

I'd be curious to see what he did to reduce the heat around the business end of that thing. The last time I saw someone put a jet engine inside a stock auto, they ended up melting the plastic bumper and setting the car on fire. (monster garage)
