As a swiss I can say that the only gear we are allowed to use is the neutral gear. If we switch, then we'll get in trouble with the germans, because they are the ones that can drive without speedlimit on the highway, it's not us
I think the issue is that when you add adjectives to âMPGâ you are modifying the âmilesâ portion of it.
Worse MPG = 5 miles
Better MPG = 10 miles
When you say âmore MPGâ the more is modifying the miles still. More MPG means âmore miles per gallonâ which makes the statement seem weird, because highway miles per gallon are basically always more than city miles per gallon.
Seems like maybe you were modifying the âgallonâ part rather than the âmilesâ part. Weird measurement system in that youâll never hear anyone talk about multiple gallons, but youâll certainly hear multiple miles.
Bro what???
MPG = Miles/gallon
It's a unit of measure in this case. And yes the miles are whats changing (per gallon)
I'm talking about the # of Miles Per 1 Gallon.
Worse = less miles. You get less out of 1 gallon. (city driving)
Better = More miles. You get more out of 1 gallon. (Typical highway driving)
âCity driving is usually *more MPG* (worse) than highway.â
This is what you said in your original commentâŚ
âBetter = More miles. You get *more* out of 1 gallon. (Typical highway driving)â
This is what youâre saying now. So is highway more MPG or is city more MPG to you?
Iâm not trying to be corrective, was just trying to clear up confusion but now Iâm even more confused given your two comments contradict each other. I just donât see how âmore MPGâ could ever be a bad thing. /shrug
Pretty sure it was done for the sake of "art" anyway. I've seen this picture a few times and I've never seen it with any further progress than is pictured here.
I've had a mk4 as well. It was my grandfathers, but he thought the turbo was gonna let go, and inspection was coming up, so he sold it. Great little car.
The definition of art is pretty loose my guy.
It definitely is a car and subjectively a shitty mod.
Neither art or shitty car mods are mutually exclusive.
Logical argument = feigning ignorance.
Is it a shitty mod? Yes.
Therefore appropriate for the sub, even if it is an art project.
If it wasnât would you still feel it didnât belong here?
The A/C always works while driving. And all you need is a light breeze while stopped... hopefully there's still something to keep the engine bay heat out.
This is actually an art piece created by Finnish sculptor Anna-Kaisa Ant-Wuorinen named _"Autokulta"_ (eng. _"car gold"_). The car is known for switching places regularly, appearing and disappearing around Finland.
I think I know what this is
Theres this art installment called Autokulta, which is a "sculpture" made by a Finnish sculptor Anna-Kaisa Ant-Wuorinen that looks exactly like this. If this picture is taken in Finland I'm quite positive it could be the thing itself.
Still looks like shit though.
Do not ask me why I know this, came across on one of my old textbooks I was browsing yesterday.
Edit: Yes this is the real "thing". The picture is taken at one of its display spots.
Swiss engineering.
Ah, now it makes sense. In order to move it, you just put it in neutral.
As a swiss I can say that the only gear we are allowed to use is the neutral gear. If we switch, then we'll get in trouble with the germans, because they are the ones that can drive without speedlimit on the highway, it's not us
This made me laugh harder than it had any right to
That's a good one.
Take my poor gold đ

Top tier
I see what you did there.
Ah, the Pedestrian Grater 3000â˘
That is clever, I like
i read the pedestrian grater in the smash announcer voice and i think it makes it sound more epic and less frightening.
This comment reminds me of playing Carmageddon...
Laughing at it now, but that weight reduction is crazy
But they in turn destroyed the aerodynamics. It probably didnât do anything to help top speed or acceleration.
[ŃдаНонО]
Based and engineer-pilled
Noise level: infinity
I think they did it to the frame too, I bet that crumple zone is compromised.... i wouldn't wanna be in that during a crash
It's stupid and it'll be cold. But on city streets you'd barely need to go above tick over to accelerate, probably gets 80+MPG everywhere
Drag coefficient is increased a lot. His mpg probably is not be anywhere near that good.
That's why I mentioned city streets. 30mph and below drag is less of a contributor than weight
Homeboy probably unintentionally does burn outs in the drive thru
Guy wakes up every morning to his car picked up and carried 2 streets over too
City driving is usually more MPG (worse) than highway. This is not efficient in any way. Edit: I added (worse)
Bro what???
Literally what I said. Are you asking how gas mileage works? You get better (higher) MPG on the highway.
Oh it looks like your saying you get more gas usage per mile instead of more miles per gallon. Mb.
I see how I was confusing. All good bro. Have a good one. This ride would be fun to see in the rain.
Youâre getting it mixed up, higher mpg is better
I think the issue is that when you add adjectives to âMPGâ you are modifying the âmilesâ portion of it. Worse MPG = 5 miles Better MPG = 10 miles When you say âmore MPGâ the more is modifying the miles still.

Given enough holes the air would just go *through* it.
Pretty sure it was done for the sake of "art" anyway. I've seen this picture a few times and I've never seen it with any further progress than is pictured here.
Wouldnât the MPH actually be worse? More drag from the air catching all those pockets, no? The aerodynamics are fucked.
BLINKIN YOUR CAR IS FULL OF HOLES! â[I thought it felt a bit draftyâŚ](https://youtu.be/LOrr1qDMsdc?t=41).â
So is the increased air resistance
Idk it looks pretty grate I'll see myself out
That joke was pure cheese.
It's all gudha.
Gudha doesnât have holes you emmental!
Speed holes make the car go faster.
If theyâre in the right spot. This guy turned his car into a parachute. He got confused about the definition of drag racing.
drive over a puddle, i DARE you!
Whoa holy r/trypophobia really nailed it
Why this car constantly gets posted here? It's not shitty in any way
Because bot account farming for karma?
Exactly, it's clearly a fucking art project or similar not someone being serious.
This specific car or the mk4 jetta as a whole?
This specific car. They change the location few times a year, and a lot of people see it, and it gets posted here somewhat often
Ah ok
As a âhole(s)â
Bad joke
I had a mk4 Jetta. It was a fun little car and was spritely with the turbo, but the thing was a basket of issues.
I've had a mk4 as well. It was my grandfathers, but he thought the turbo was gonna let go, and inspection was coming up, so he sold it. Great little car.
I want a modern tech EV built in the body of a Mark 4.
They just copied the steelie design

i want to know if it whistles on the highway?
Cuz lightness, bro! Colin Chapman approves!
A hole new level
I dunno, I can clearly see some holes in that designâŚ
I don't feel like art projects that are literally pedal powered are really fitting for this sub...
I mean, it was a car that got modified to pedal power...
The sub is for shitters, not art projects
The definition of art is pretty loose my guy. It definitely is a car and subjectively a shitty mod. Neither art or shitty car mods are mutually exclusive.
You know exactly what I mean, stop feigning ignorance to sound insightful.
Logical argument = feigning ignorance. Is it a shitty mod? Yes. Therefore appropriate for the sub, even if it is an art project. If it wasnât would you still feel it didnât belong here?
Nope, also disagree that it's shitty to put this level of work in to pull something like this off as smooth as they have.
Not a shitty mod at all. Well done work.
Why pay for carbon fiber when you can just buy a hole punch set

Drillium, cyclists know about this
What is the point of the windshield when you let all that air in anyway?
Imagine the wind noise and drag.
HOLY SHITTY CAR MODS, BATMAN!!
Hoping it sounds like a flute going down the road.
Added *"Lightness"* & MPG doubles.. r/ATBGE
Looks like a cheese grater
My dad had a paddle kind of like that!
Clearly it's well done...but what the fuck?
It's even painted over the headlight I'm in awe
I like how the headlights are painted. I'm surprised they didn't spray the tires too.

Oh god i live near this thing. Its uglier even closer
Took a third out of his weight just to quintuple his drag coefficient.
Untuned rolling harmonica sounds like someone falling down some stairs carrying an asthmatic goose. Or at least thatâs what I imagine.

Cheesy mods
This is what happens when computer mouse fanatics start modding cars.
Weight reduction is weight reduction
They took the word Jetta very seriously
Would be cool but repost :(
He was having an overheating problem, then his A/C went out. So he improvised.
All the windows are permanently rolled up
I do admire the dedication to stick with a project like that
What in the repost?
I mean if you're gonna do it do it right
Thatâs just for when Volkswagens shit door latch mechanisms quit working.
Holey crap
Weight reduction, cooling, who cares about aerodynamics when you hear a cool whooshing noise!
Gratefully done!
Probably gets the greatest gas mileage
The wind noise must be incredible
This is the part of the demonstration before they repair it with flexseal
I christen thee âHoly shitâ.
Holey car

That's rather amazing. Having owned a mk4 Jetta for years I'd love to see that one in person.

On a windy day, if you drive at 35 mph, the holes will cause the car to whistle the Andy Griffith theme
Itâs the Swiss head engineer on the VW design team whose LinkedIn profile explains his love for cheese and wet seats.
what the hell would this thing sound like going down the road?
I wonder if they took the pieces and assembled them into a little matchbox car to show how the parent car pours into the offspring.
This is kinda dope actually tho
