Massive improvements to the Baja Bug! Do you think they will improve their time?

@doczspec4502 Місяць тому

This is such a great idea. Feels great to see these two again! Yes! And OMG the BUG is quick! Way to go fellas. Glory

Glad you enjoyed it!

This is the most awesome episode MotorTrend has ever published. So mad jealous. What a monster of fine German engineering.... with improvements.

It's a shame no one can actually watch any of this anymore 🙄 come on motortrend don't you actually want people to be able to watch your content

@ergparsell42069 Місяць тому

They invested far too much in their own platform so need to gatekeep their fans as long as they can. But I think more and more people will forget about motortrend as a whole the longer it goes on.

@heroeofkonnerud Місяць тому

Yes! I got kicket out from motortrend a long time age. Would happily pay, but I live in Skandinavia. Cant Even fool it with a VPN, since you have to have a billing adress in the US 🥲

@JeffKopis Місяць тому

Only if they get PAID. That's kind of the whole point in BUSINESS.

@@ergparsell42069The entire network is dead without Freiburger, Finnegan, and Dulcich. They're the College Football of the company, the moneymakers. All the other clowns are the Women's Lacrosse team.

@@JeffKopis WTF are you talking about 🤦🏻🙄 paying customers can't even watch content at the moment because they keep changing everything and not telling anyone what's going on

I run a 002 Bus Transmission in my 1969 Baja Bug… it’s good up to 150 plus horsepower and run strong!!!😊

Next mission for the bug tracks in the back skis in the front then hit the snow

Amazed that the old swing axle trans lasted with that engine.

More suspension in the front?

@georgemccart5783 Місяць тому

Nice

@vintagespeed Місяць тому

idk why you wouldn't put a shift box on top of the tunnel and run the rod above? seems like the 'right' way to do the bus swap?

All the car guys on Motortrend are the greatest especially David Friburger who I have been following for decades. Lightenup on the recent copyright BS your bean counters are going to ruin the hobby they're probably not even car guys

@user-rt8ik1ow4i Місяць тому

Why not use the whole front end of a Malibu?Yes?S front wheel drive drop the whole front Axel's transmission engine all-in-one and plant it up under that Volt wagon.And now ALS 53 leader built to the tail with turbos.And that thing would be a wheeling machine in the dunes

@jasonpetrich4141 Місяць тому

To bad this is like goodwill faster with Finnigan, and what's left of roadkill like what motor trend and discovery do just ,look for good shows to bleed dry and kill .. the show is soooo slow now can't watch it
