The Volkswagon isn't that bad, atleast its kept subtle, and the middle one, although a lil extreme, actually has a nice paint job.
I'm still questioning what the top one is though.

PunkRockIt's the Buicura Integal...
Picture took on Hector-Lanthier Boulevard in Saint-Eustache, the city where I live. The highway there is the 640 and on the otherside of it its Hamel Honda.
I never saw that car and I dont want to, otherwise I will just yell to the guy that he's a moron... lol

He might have it so its locked to the trunk. Many people around here have had their spoilers stolen since they're pretty easy to steal using a little razor wire, maybe thats his way of stopping it. 💡

The Countach with the spoiler at the front was actually a factory option, if I'm not mistaken...
The one with the humongous front bumper is what Lamborghini came up with to make the Countach legal in North America, with the 5mph regulations.

I call bs on the jet powered VW Beetle.
A jet engine like that, especially with an afterburner, needs massive amounts of air flow. If that wasn't enough, the compressor and the turbine are completely exposed to the air, therefore making them completely useless. A compressor needs to be encased, else it won't compress anything.
The nozzle, also, looks like it's not sturdy enough and it's even slit open down at the bottom.
That "jet engine" is just for "shows" and all it does is putting flames out the back.
Also, notice how, in all the shots where the "engine" is running, the car is completely stationary. Jet engines put out thousands of pounds of thrust, expecially when the afterburner is running. No way, if that was real, the brakes could keep the car from moving. They may be able to lock the wheels, but the car would still be sliding forward.
Sorry, dude. Your ME degree at Stanford is obviously total bs. Go play with real cars...

That's how I see it. There is no way that thing is running like a real jet engine would.
In a jet engine, the air enters the intake. It then goes through the compressor, which raises the pressure of the air (by a factor of 10-25 times, or even more). The air enters the burner, where it gets mixed with fuel and then hits the turbine, which powers the compressor (and the fan, if the engine happens to be a turbo-fan one). The air then moves toward the nozzle - or the afterburner, when present, where extra fuel is injected - and then gets exhausted at relatively high velocity. The air/fuel mixture temperature, inside the turbine, is in the order of 1400 degrees F. No way you could have that running inside your car.
It's just a giant flame-thrower. Notice how the fuel line only goes into the afterburner section (the elongated section outside the car). The intake is probably there just to supply the air for that only purpose.
It's still cool looking - sorta. But really, it doesn't do anything. I seriously doubt you even get some thrust just from the flame-throwing effect.
EDIT: Not to mention... the guy said the engine spins at around 26,000 rpm. 13,000 just idling. Now, I don't know who you are, but if you stand that close, you'll be deaf in a matter of minutes...
