Holy guacamole, Batman! Spindle mount wheels on a street driven car? We must somehow stop these types of individuals from reproducing. Sheesh! Dude sounds two tacos shy of a combo plate.
I think methamphetamine has a lot to do with it.

FYI, he owns Wagens West in Salem. Shop to avoid, IMO.
No worries, I'll never be in that neighborhood and I do most of the work on my cars. That, or friends assist. However, thanks for the kindly tip.

wouldn't it be fun to put on a ski mask, hop in a big late '60's American pickup with a big inch V8 and a big brush bar, and go ram these pieces of shit right the fuck off the road?

I'm mistaken. I thought the shop was Wagons West, public apologies on my behalf for my error. Regardless, that car is one gigantic pile of shit, and the owner did purchase a Salem-based shop. Again, my apologies for my error.

here's something to think about....
Consider the first Cal Look cars, Mahaffey's split, Aronson/Holmes '63, Dean's '67, Sarge's '63... these cars and their histories are lapped up by us "new guys", right? We revere them like religous artifacts. The guys that owned them look back proudly upon those old cars too, and for good reason. There's been books written about the scene, the guys, the cars. We're posting here because of these guys and their cars.
Think, in 35 years, that KS' offspring is going to be compiling a book about hoodrides? Think the dipshits that own these cars are going to dig through a shoebox in 20-30 years and find pictures of their "cars" and get a good feeling about "the good old days?" I doubt it. if anything, it will be like growing old with a bad tattoo, they'll look back and think "WTF was I thinking?!!!!!!!!!!!!"
do you think in 15-20-30 years, guys are going to be searching samba, ebay, internet, for parts off some hoodride, like guys are looking for BRMs off Don Crane's car (Hi Richard
)? I think not.
In all seriousness, like Sarge has said, these cars and this "movement" is just kind of a window into society today, well in CA at least. Kind of a middle finger to old fashioned pride, care, concern.... who knows maybe these guys consider their shit a kind of rebellion to the real Cal Look thing... like anti-cal-look? Gosh, when I was 18-19-20, my daily driver, aside from my '67, was my 1970 Bus (The Scab, named after its color.... same as dried blood) and it was one ugly mother. The paint was chalky and faded, there were some gashes and dents, but I still attempted to rub the paint out, fix the little glitches, added new VW hubcaps, and definitely kept it in safe condition. I mean, this was the car I took chicks out in....

Believe it or not, this picture is from the September 2008 Hot VW's magazine.
P.S. Remember when you had to have a real nice car to even be considered for the magazines ?

HAHAHAHAHA!!! Laughin' my ass off at this pic. Too funny.
Thanks for the entertainment. The U-Haul box or whatever the hell that thing is takes roof rack gayness to an entirely new level of gay. Spindle mounts. HAHAHAHAHAHA!!! I'd rather walk, ride my skateboard or bike before being seen in one of those clown cars.

And a 7 inch narrowed beam.
I stole that pic off the samba and his comments about that pic were "Who needs front brakes when you have wind resistance?" What a dumb ass. Stupidity should be painful.

With opinions like that I bet in the end it'll be painful, hopefully he doesn't crash to anyone else while meeting the end..
I like also cars with patina as my other Bug has
53 year old paint
, but to have an unsafe car is just stupid..

Do his clown shoes provide extra braking power as he forces them down through the undoubtedly rotten floor?

Volkswagen or not, I'd rather see that thing crushed and recycled into a year's worth of Coca Cola cans, my soft drink of choice, than to continue being tortured as it sits by its moron owner.

That's my view really, peoples taste differs but there's not really anything to debate when it comes to making decisions about basic safety.

I'll leave this thread with one final thought: I saw this car at Woodburn's Bug Run earlier in the summer and yes, it is as bad as it looks. In person, it's even worse!

Okay, I lied, one more reply. The guy that owns that car looks like a total troll (literally, it's hilarious). Okay, I just devolved this thread into grade school antics, but gosh it's fun!

Laughable. And the shop is WagenWerks, I found out. I pity the poor high schooler's parents that shell out any money for this bucket.

Holy cow... I almost peed my pants when I saw this picture! HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!! How 'bout those broken rear axles and that 7" narrowed beam?
This pile is so low, that the door hits. Too funny. I hope he got a lotta street cred', chicks, and respect for doing that. The carbs are worth more than the entire car. Who in their right mind is gonna pay $4K for that thing? HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!! Thanks for the laughs. It's been a long day and I needed that.
