A good mechanic can take you a long way, and it’s even better if you manage to trap one within the family, and it’s a bonus if they like to work on project cars. Up in Canada, one mechanic who reportedly immigrated from Germany had a wild idea for the original Volkswagen Beetle, taking the four-seater Super Beetle model and chopping it back down to just one row of seating. The result is fascinating and spectacular, and it’s for sale now, which is why you’re hearing about it. Think of this as the VW Beetle equivalent to BMW’s most oddball sports car.
