VW Vortex member Thecleaner likes his VWs watercooled, but still pines for the days when the aircooled cars had their grills in the back. Having come across a clapped-out Cabriolet that was missing its top, he decided to set things right. He initially wanted to convert the car into a roadster but instead added a gas grill and made it a roaster- Kenny Rogers would be so proud.
Having grill in the back makes this one special rabbit- it has both fuel injection, and a single Weber! So, if you see Thecleaner at your local H2O Show, give him a shout out, and let him know you like yours medium-rare.

Medium Rare? Speak for yourself. Show it the stove.

The number of people who refuse to eat anything but ruined steak is a tragedy of our time.

I’m with you – he’d need no more than a shot glass of fuel to prepare steaks properly. As for the carbeque… pure awesome. I loved my 1980 Rabbit Convertible and will have another. This mod goes on the list.

Dearthair and I were facebookin about this last night. I had to cook a T-Bone well for my girlfriend last night. A T-Bone. Well.
Fu*k it. Culinary school for two years and I end up with a women who wants to ruin a $20 piece of meat.-
Woman. Although women would be pretty awesome.

This is the best use of a Cabriolet since “Gotcha!”.

I must have begged my parents to rent that movie at least five times.

Never seen the movie but I owned one of these cars. The best use of a Cabriolet involves the roll bar and a flexible date with minimal dignity.

pics or it didn’t happen…

I keep hearing the “Real Men of Genius” jingle every time I look at those pics.
The only thing that might make it better is to convert the car to run off CNG/Propane, so the car and the grill could use the same tank. That and somehow get an extra high setting on the grill so you could drive down the road with 3 foot high flames shooting up from the back of the car.-
Now you’re thinking. That would be classy. Actually, all you’d have to do is throw on a bunch of greasy hamburger patties and let them flare up. Mmm, I love me a greasy burger. Had one for lunch at a dive bar today. Devastating.

I love this and I’m terrified all at the same time. But I’d totally rock it to a tailgate party! Too funny.

Anybody notice how the woman behind the dude has had her head replaced with a keg cup? That’s no happy accident.

I’m getting a big kick out of the fact that adsense has scanned this and decided what you all really want to see are ads for BBQs. Need to double-check the “medium sized cruis ship” post to see if it’s got ads for trips to Puerto Vallarta.
I knew a guy in college who had a white-on-white-on-white Cabrio. He was in a metal band, knew enough martial arts to ruin you in 30 seconds flat and had a rather attractive girlfriend. I’m definitely not making this up.-
I looked at the ads and wondered ‘Are car grills really being made as readily available aftermarket parts?’ and actually had to click through before I got to the *facepalm*.
Don’t mind me.-
Click away! We’ve got bills to pay.

This gives me a killer idea for a Rabbit Pickup. You think a grill in the trunk is a novel idea, I’m thinking full kitchen.

Came for the fire. Left disappointed. Not even a single fire truck. Clearly, no one was trying hard enough.

If I ever buy a mid-engined Italian car, I’m screwing a grill between the flying buttresses or in place of a rear window. If the thing’s going up in flames, I’m benefiting from it.

Someone made a joke once on TurboBricks that ‘if your car had any more grill, it would run on propane’. Well.
