Black and red it might not be as bad, something about all that yellow. And I read the article and it does sound like it would be a blast to drive but for the 7k asking price that thing is way to “personalized”. And as ugly as it is I still wouldn’t want to see it go to the crusher, there’s for sure a ton of time and effort put into it. Not to mention a twisted imagination.

Every time I see something like this I wonder what the "other" version of it looks like.   You know, the car with a VW front and a Subaru back.   In that case it wouldn't work though ... no engine!

 

This one has an engine at both ends ...

SuburBeetle! Subaru BRAT-VW Beetle Mashup (barnfinds.com)

... the Barn Find "comments" at the end are always worthwhile.

these poor people building these monstrosities. what is going on in their life that they think its good to build these things

It's "I can make something good out of what I have and save a ton" syndrome.

 

People overestimate their skill but they don't understand how ro actually design things.  They have a vision but they lack the skill to actually build it.

 

And then they run into the actual cost of building things so they half-@$$ it to bring it in under budget.
