On some great and glorious day the plain folks of the land will reach their heart's desire at last, and the White House will be adorned by a downright moron.

I think a rwd conversion would be cool. It looks like he's over his head though.

I recall reading in Road & Track many years ago that a fellow in Germany had done something sort of like this, except he put a then current Golf body over a Porsche 928.  The owner noted it was fun to drive behind supercars on the Autobahn, flash the lights, and zip on by.  In what looked like a Golf  :rofl2:

Some people have a lot of free time, skill and money. Can't wait to see how it turns out.

Just yesterday when getting my oil changed I was reading about a guy in BC that imports Sciroccos and then makes them VR6/AWD.

WTH is up with wheels that are too big for the tires and then sticking out past the wheel openings?  Is that really supposed to be cool?  Taste is relative...but that's not even tasteful, or useful...yeesh  :P

 :iagree: The stance thing, ok maybe, but those rims are as stupid a trend as I've ever seen.
