OK I will ask
where does the motor get its feed of AIR?
To me it looks like the driver takes care of that and the hole interior for that matter.

I'll bet there are no loose paper cups or hamburger bags in that passenger space...

You've got to read this article about the guy that built the jet powered VW bug. Most of you have probably seen pics of the car itself since they've been circulating the net for some time, but read the article for the stuff that the guy wants to do next.
