It's a Subaru, it's a Beetle. No, it's a Subawagen

Doesn't look bad from the front...

Quite cute from the rear...

But from the side...errk!

Nope, no better this way, either.

Bright ideas and too much idle time are a dangerous mix.

Subaru-Volkswagen with styling by Frankenstein.

You've heard of hybrid cars, but this takes the whole idea to a new level. This two-engined all-wheel-drive monster popped up recently on Craigslist in the USA and we can only assume it was someone's twisted idea of a practical joke.

We can see how it all happened: it's late, they've all been drinking - heavily. Suddenly someone says, "Hey, you know those two old clunkers you've got outside, I bet you could cut and shut them into one. Instant four-wheel-drive! Waddya reckon?"

Another couple of drinks, someone picks up the angle grinder and, well, you can see how it went from there...

The car is a combo of a 1985 Subaru GL and a 1974 Beetle, a creation which has effectively shattered the value of both. Apparently it all works and it's being offered for US$7000.

Let us know if you buy it - we just have to have a drive!
