Tricked-Out Thing
A great paint job and custom wheels make this a very special Thing. :-D
This was one of only two VW Things at the 2012 Terryville Volkswagen show. (I already showed the other in my photostream.
The Thing was made primarily for off-road motoring and for unpaved roads. Its lack of amenities - no carpeting, no insulation - signified this as a basic, rugged utility car. Its removable doors and lack of shoulder harnesses or head restraints, however, made it a target of safety advocates, which explains why it didn’t last long in the U.S. market.
