This was at the stoplight outside my office window a while ago. Finally, an answer to the age-old question: can a beat-up old Supra tow a Beetle shell?
(I just now noticed the sticker on the side window... that’s unfortunate...)

I recall Roadkill doing something similar with a gremlin and I think the Rotsun. It didnt end well, resulting in them ending up careening into a ditch. Unfortunately cameras werent rolling at the time.

Maybe it’s the perspective playing tricks, but that Beetle looks massive compared to the Supra.

I think it’s just the camera angle.

They were actually towing a Prius with the Gremlin so they could destroy the Prius with a tank. However, they had neglected to replace the Gremlin’s 40+ year-old tires, so one of those tires exploded, causing them to spin out. Not one of their finer moments, but at least they admitted that not replacing the tires was stupid and they seem to use new tires on most of their projects now.

Type 1 Beetles are surprisingly tall. I parked next to one recently and it was taller than my 2015 Mazda 3
HFV has no HFV. But somehow has 2 motorcycles

Thank you for the correction, definitely remember it now haha. I don't know why I forgot about the prius but I guess they are generally forgettable! That was just one of those, these guys are actually doing this stupid shit moments. Makes them much more relatable at least. Ever since the motortrend on demand debacle I've given up on roadkill, but I certainly do miss it.

I’ve been milking the free year of Motortrend On Demand I’ve got right now, so I’ve been keeping up with Roadkill. Some of the new stuff is pretty good actually, although I do miss the comments. And I can’t entirely blame them for switching platforms, as they do seem to make more money this way which allows them to make episodes more often.

How heavy is an unladen swallow Beetle? This should not be a problem at all.
