Apparently no one in the US is nutty enough to take on the task. :D

So just like that, we have a plan.

Step 1: We'll buy a 1981 Volkswagen Rabbit Diesel right here in New York City.
Step 2: We'll drive it across thousands of miles of frozen tundra to Regina, Saskatchewan, where CWS Tuning will skillfully replace the clattery old oil burner with a modern, computer-controlled, turbocharged VW TDI engine.
Step 3: We'll head south to sunny Southern California to thaw our bones and have UCLA aerodynamics professor John McNulty show us how to make a brick slippery.

Cool!

This should turn out cool.

TDI's are definitely a fun car to drive (as long as you have a tuning box etc)
