The Volkswagen Thing Is Slow, Old, Unsafe... and Amazing
I recently had the chance to drive a Volkswagen Thing, which is slow, unsafe, old, and poorly equipped. It’s also awesome — and it has some amazing quirks, as I’ve demonstrated in this video. I’ve also got more thoughts about the Thing in my column on Autotrader Oversteer. Enjoy!!

This perfectly illustrates how you can find a way to have fun in almost any car.
Kinda like my truck
What a hilarious Thing!
Sounds like a very unique experience. I’ll have to cruise around in one if I ever get the chance!
a good “Thing”
It’s a Thing. A Volkswagen Thing.

Volkswagen “Kübelwagen”, which would roughly translate into “Bucketwagon”.
I wanted one just because I had a HotWheels toy of it.
I was wanting you to come review my aunt and uncles Volkswagen The Thing. My uncle stripped it apart and painted yellow and fixed it and put a new engine in it. The rims are nice, they cost $83 each. It is a manual.
