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.
Agreed. You don’t need a lot of speed or stuff in order to have a blast.
by knowing that your car is better than this?
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!
For sure. It’s very cool. I think about seven people will watch this video, since the Thing isn’t exactly a supercar, but I had fun filming it.
a good “Thing”
It’s a Thing. A Volkswagen Thing.
I know what you did here hahaha

Volkswagen “Kübelwagen”, which would roughly translate into “Bucketwagon”.
Because the real Kübelwagen were as light as possible and had no doors, so they needed Bucketseats that the passengers didnt fall out. So they are basically racecars
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.
