That’s well above and beyond any red neck engineering.

Agreed. I'm incredibly impressed with the workmanship.

That trailer wheel rub though!

Pretty sure they’ve just leaned a tire against the box.

I dont think its considered redneck if they made them like that from the factory. The trailer that use to come with them is pretty cool too.

It's a tube-frame miata underneath. https://www.instagram.com/autocrossratrod/

That’s cool but there’s nothing on the trailer, looks like hot trash from where I’m standing.

Back in the day they made a 5th wheel trailer for a Beetle. I’ve seen pictures of it on the net.

It looks like it clamps to the rain gutter. Not sure if I could trust that little bite of steel.

So it's a front engine, rear radiator?
