in the beginning, when the marketing folks got involved...

Reminds me of the time my son was in Boy Scouts, the Troop went to an anirshow and the boys were given rides in aJ3 Cub. Thought he would be tickled to fly with the door open but he was pissed when he got out. He was used to flying with me when I bought and sold planes and had indeed been looking forward to the Cub, but they’d removed the stick from the front seat.

Does Miscegenation apply to motorcycles? MMMM...BMW does make a cruiser so maybe it does?
Had to look that one up. Not sure that word applies at all to this. Wasn't being derogatory. And no people, no ethnic groups, (maybe Italian and Japanese?) and definitely no races. Or Beemers.

mis·ceg·e·na·tion
/məˌsejəˈnāSH(ə)n,ˌmisəjəˈnāSH(ə)n/
noun
derogatory

  1. sexual relationships or reproduction between people of different ethnic groups, especially when one of them is white.
    "the great fear was miscegenation, a mixing of bloodlines"

There's a lot going on here. An antique motorcycle, a highly modified VW, another weirdly modified VW something, and an unattended pizza box. I don't know why the VW hauler would have a siren though. And it looks like a NY license plate.

II like it but I like some weird shit when it comes to vehicles. Maybe the siren is to warn people to look away as it approaches..

I'm concerned by how it is all secured to the VW. Has the owner not heard of ratchet tiedowns.

The VW is not modified, it's a stock offering back in the day. Called "Half Cab" or "Kombi". The "Single Cab" had a full across cab with pickup bed. Quite a variety of beds, some with the fold down sides, some with a split bed, etc. I am a little curious WTF with what looks like a mini bus creation cantilevered off the back though.

Here is another Half Cab:

I've seen the bottom one, but not the others. What about that weird go-kart looking thing?
I'm guessing it's a pedal car. I've seen some similar, and that pic was at a car show, IIRC. Still looks like it's just hanging off the back!

Yes, no straps. The visible wheel looks like it's in the middle. Something heavy has to be in the front to keep it from popping a wheelie; maybe a motor. Weird regardless.
