    Maybe it's an RSi:

    The RSi is a limited 250 unit version of the New Beetle. It included a 224 PS (165 kW; 221 hp) 3.2-litre VR6 engine,[11] a 6-speed gearbox, and Volkswagen's four-wheel drive system 4motion, Remus twin-pipe exhaust. It was rumored Porsche tuned the suspension but the suspension tuning was actually carried out in-house at VW Individual. The suspension was greatly altered at the rear, with geometry more geared to the race track and a rear cross brace behind the rear seats, 80 mm (3.1 in) wider fenders, unique front and rear bumpers, a rear diffuser, large rear wing, and 18x9 OZ Superturismo wheels with 235/40ZR-18 tires. Inside, it was trimmed in carbon fiber, billet aluminum, and bright orange leather. The front seats were Recaro racing buckets. Notable disadvantages found were loud cabin noise and shorter rear tire life.

    I mean, it does have Porshah weelz...

    That could also just be for ease of wheeling it around in the garage to store up against a wall.

    Even stranger when you consider it's FWD.

    Absolutely, the old VW's were rear wheel drive but yes the new version is FWD. Then again a wing for down force on a FWD car is hilarious 😂😂

    Interesting Drew, AWD VW, boy I but that middle hump in the middle is kind of strange..

    The old VW'S were great in the snow because the bottom pan under the car was smooth and would get on top of the snow and plane like snow skiing, my cousin had one he put chains on the rear tires boy was it fun hanging out with him in the winter when I was young. I do not ever remember getting stuck in it.

    ...that you posted there after shooting it in the basement?

    Twisted Sister, We're Not Gonna Take It, or Sammy Hagar, I Can't Drive 55. Thinking more seriously now, Def Leppard, Animal.

    I was gonna add in a Celine Dion track as a joke, but it felt too wrong. Even for me.

    I didn't even notice that as an upcycling idea for speaker stands/room treatments.

    Huh that's interesting.. My sister had one. The heater svcked & in a Maine snow storm you could turn the steering wheel right & the car would keep go straight. Especially braking lol. This was in 1970"s. She is older then me. I'd get way in the back in that little area & wonder if we we're gonna make it to where we were going. Standard tranny. IIRC. She loved it. Nice summer car. Then she got a Pacer & I refused to ride in it :D

    Question . Was it VW that had the air line that went from the Windshield mechanism TO the Spare Tire ? Maybe I'm thinking vintage Subaru
