I just wanted to share this, in my 65 years on this planet I never met a person quite like this. I met him at a surprise party for my friend Jeff Smith honoring his 30 years in the automotive magazine business. Parked on the lawn was this VW beetle with a jet engine sticking out the rear.There was this wierd looking guy waxing it.After introducing myself I was captivated for hours with all his stories. He reminded me of Christopher Lloyd s character in back to the future.An incredible genus but institutionally nuts.Take sometime to read about this.You won't find it boring http://www.ronpatrickstuff.com/

I saw the build-up on that car a couple years ago. I am glad my suspicion that the owner/builder was a mad scientist was true!

""The structure holding the engine was designed using finite element analysis""

That says enough about his knowledge of engineering.

I read about this guy years ago...its cool you actually got to meet him! His page hints that he might be kinda nuts, with him trying to attach jet engines to everything haha
