What do you do when you adore the VW Beetle, but you also love the Mk I Rabbit (you know, the Golf) and can't decide which one to choose for a DIY project? You weld them together, of course.
While this isn't exactly how this unique Vee-Dub came to be, the resulting contraption looks like the two classic VWs spend a night together in a garage. In fact, they spent some sixteen nights together, as that's how long it took Canadian builder David Aronson to put this thing together.

In fact, if we are to listen to Reddit gossip, the man wanted to show the world that the slammed vehicle culture is more than machines mixing air suspension with custom wheels and bolt-on mods. Which is why he set out to deliver this all-work, no-cost (imagine the microscopic price of the two rusting donor cars) project.

Yes, the machine is low as hell, but its wow factor also comes from the little details, such as the hellaflush attitude of the rear wheels or the way in which the outer front lights were tinted.

Nevertheless, the true nature of this build shines once you take a look inside - when the driver shares the air he breathes with a pair of carburetors, you know his tech fetish goes way deeper than a tattoo. After all, you need devilish motivation to come up with such a machine, which does away with the notion of driving safety.

And you don't need to be a specialist to imagine this German-born-Canadian-overhauled ride has become an extremely strong opinion splitter. However, as it usually happens in such cases, the owner couldn't care less about the keyboard wars generated by his machine - check out the man's face in the image gallery and let us know if you think he looks concerned.
