Haha, that's pretty awesome. And it's california legal, too, since he hasn't technically touched the engine.

Great link, but I have some issues with your thread title.

1) R
2) VW is one of the few companies that has a popular DIESEL econobox
3) What do you think that jet runs on?

surely

when not using the petrol engine and jus using the jet, he will not be in gear and thus not have the best control over his car. resistance by the engine plays a key part in normal driving, without it, it must feal abit leary

I'm sure he tends to cover the brake whenever he lights it off, and I doubt he uses it around corners.

Well, if someone was dumb enough to light off the jet for daily driving, they probably would have already blown themselves up while building it.;)
