Seriously. Volkswagen redefines the sled. It’s kind of odd, a car company releasing winter toys, but in its own way it’s kind of a “why haven’t we seen this before” sort of deal. Man, I would have been the coolest kid evar if I had one of these back in the day.
If they could just combine that with the car that comes with a guitar, then I’d be all set. We’re talking Hammer of the Gods shit here.
At least one of those sleds will now be on my ‘buy list’, but where do we buy them from? Call the Dealer’s parts dept? While that site lists Euro amounts, I couldn’t find a ‘shopping cart’ function…
I saw some very similar sleds in Target last week. We bought a cheap one instead. You might want to visit your local Target.

Hell, yeah! …if I lived somewhere that had snow… 
Sadly, by me, the word ‘Target’ now means ‘Out of Stock’…
The article refers to the “metal disks” we had as kids. My brother and I loved our “saucer” (aluminum with red plastic handles) and rode it down the steep huge rock set into the hill in our backyard.
Read the comment after the jet-Beetle. It talks about these sleds being Batman sleds many moons ago.
With that being said, I want one!
I want the jet-powered Beetle. 
Even if it were inoperable, that would have to deter tailgaters…
Me, too. To hell with the sleds. 
A jet-powered sled would be pretty friggin’ awesome, too. Imagine a line of burnt grass behind you, leaving a wake of destruction down the hills.
Sweet.
A jet-powered sled…Hmmm? You could deliver all those toys and then enjoy some tasty roasted-venison treats after the work was done. Ho-ho-ho!
I thought you were going to link to the Japanese prank video, Lightnin’. Some of those naked Japanese guys get some serious distance on their jet-powered chairs.
