Rolling Rodentia

Today's car bizarre comes from two of my favorite segments: Volkswagens and art cars. I grew up in a family that had several VWs over the years, and my first car was a 1971 Type III fastback. I learned to turn wrenches by keeping that car alive, with the assistance of John Muir's amazing book "How to Keep Your Volkswagen Alive".

I've seen VWs outfitted in the most outlandish ways you can imagine, but something about this particular one tickles me. Maybe it's because my daughter has had a series of hamsters as pets; I don't know for sure. I do know it wasn't easy getting all that shag on the OUTside of the car.

I'm sure there will be many VWs posted here in coming days.  If you know anything about this particular one, leave a comment.  I'd love to know who put it together and how.

And if you want a copy of the very best VW maintenance book in history, you can get it from Amazon:
How to Keep Your Volkswagen Alive 19 Ed: A Manual of Step-by-Step Procedures for the Compleat Idiot
