How do you know when you've lowered your VW too much?

1. The top of the rear tires is about the same height as the roofline.
2. You scrape your knuckles on the roof when shifting.
3. The only place for the steering column to go through the dash is right through the speedometer.
4. The rear view mirror gives you no rear view of anything but the elbow of your shifting arm.

These are the generators being transported to Three Mile Island in Harrisburg, PA. 28 axles with 8 tires/axle. With a maximum speed from port to TMI at 3mph. Weight 850+tons. Each wheel has its own suspension to keep the generators perfectly level.

That boat probably could be uglier, although I can't think of anything you could possibly do that wouldn't improve the design.

That 'yacht' reminds of those huge nuclear subs,
The stern, the sail,

My new MINI. My poor 914 won't need to endure daily short drives any longer.
