"Street legal" is really stretching it

There are car modifications, and then there are fucking car modifications.

Entertaining parts of this:
  1. The guy built a fucking functional jet engine into the back of his VW beetle. This is the most obvious one, but it bears restating.
  2. The engine came from a helicopter. Did he get the goddamn thing off eBay?!
  3. The sunroof and two side windows constitute the intake.
  4. There is now a gauge in his car titled, "Turbine Inlet Temperature."
  5. Did I mention it's a jet engine embedded in the back of a VW beetle?
  6. The California DMV can't figure out what to charge him with.
  7. The Batmobile now looks like a goddamn pink Hyundai.
  8. The California DMV is so stymied that they are asking the federal government if it constitutes a threat to national security.
  9. That Osama bin Laden's eBay alias would be "b_laden13".
