I've seen guys bump motors over and pop belts on&off with prybars, but never a running engine. Yikes

yes! i gotta show my dad this though, he'll get a kick. he was a vw mech back in the 70's so he pwns beetles. its awesome to watch him work on one and its pretty cool how you set the tension on the vw belts.

yeah i remember owning my 73 super beetle....it was a kick when i opened the trunk for the first time and saw the belt setup. its deffinately a crazy car. ask him about the ''heat vent'' that takes the heat off the exhaust manifolds and routes it into the car :rofl::rofl::rofl: damn germans
