June 14, 200719 yr Someone has installed a jet engine in his late model Volkswagon Beetle. It's amazing what a person with a PhD in Mechanical Engineering from Stanford University can do. There is a description of the project, along with many photos at: http://www.ronpatrickstuff.com/ http://www.chaosgone.blogspot.com

June 15, 200719 yr There was a story in Wired about this last summer, here's an excerpt: Despite all the muscle, Patrick doesnÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Å¾Ã¢t race. ÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ãâ¦Ã¢â¬ÅIÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Å¾Ã¢m 49, so frying some 16-year-old who just saw The Fast and the Furious doesnÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Å¾Ã¢t do anything for me,ÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ãâà I just posted something! ^_^ to the terrorist...er... kirbybeam.

June 16, 200719 yr I thought this would be about a band member with a jet pack. Thats a new one. :lol:
June 16, 200719 yr Ah it's good, but nothing can beat this: http://www.engadget.com/2004/10/07/the-jet-powered-supermarket-cart/ "A disbelief in magic can force some poor souls into believing in authority and business"
June 16, 200719 yr Ah it's good, but nothing can beat this: http://www.engadget.com/2004/10/07/the-jet-powered-supermarket-cart/ That doesn't beat this at all, except by sheer stupidity... :P The jet in the beetle looks like something that might actually come out of a VW factory...if they made jet powered beetles, that just looks like a hobo found something he shouldn't have at the junkyard. I just posted something! ^_^ to the terrorist...er... kirbybeam.
June 16, 200719 yr That's a pretty sweet engine. :-w I'd hate to be the officer trying to pull them up for any charges. :lol:
