This Heroic Volkswagen Kombi Was Crushed In Storms... But Still Drives Fine
It’s been asked before: what’s the perfect vehicle for the apocalypse? Well, we think we finally have the answer: a Volkswagen Kombi.
This Type 2 VW Bus was squashed pretty badly by a falling tree during storms in Brazil. Fortunately no one was inside it at the time, but the trunk nearly cut the poor modern-era Kombi in half. Our intrepid hero isn’t going to be stopped by anything so trivial as being skulled by several tonnes of wood, though. Nope: It’s actually going to go and burn some rubber (sort of).
Although this is the later, water-cooled version, which does have some extra plumbing versus the original one, almost everything involved with making it move is at chassis level or lower. As funny as it looks, it still drives pretty much as normal. Remarkable stuff.

Meanwhile, reaction of VW engine trollers
Craigslist be like: A few small dents and scuffs, runs and drives flawlessly.
Back then VW’s were made for the eternity, nowadays they’re like (insert overused check engine light) everywhere.

nothing surprising.
engine and gearbox in the back, only surprising thing is that it could still put down power to the ground.
