VIDEO: To kill a Beetle bug: Hippie VW gets shredded
When people have a love of YouTube and a lot of free time on their hands, some pretty crazy things can happen. Someone with a spare first-generation VW Beetle and a car shredder decided to be creative in dismantling their hippie heirloom, so they slapped together a faux-comedy. The action saves this amateur video, though, as the helpless little bug is ruthlessly shredded in under two minutes. While we can't call this news, it's definitely entertaining, and you can watch it after the jump.

I think it would have been more entertaining if they just made a video saying "check out this video of us shredding a vw beetle."

Crappy car? Who are you to talk? I happen to LOVE VW Beetles.. old Beetles... and the New Beetles and I happen to own one. DON'T GO CALLING THE BEETLE A CRAPPY CAR. What kind of PIECE OF SHIT do you drive?

Face it... the car's shitty, these days most of them are driven by girls, so maybe that's what you're trying to achieve, you wanna be like a girl? You're probably stealing your mother's underwear and clothes and dressing up in them, Am I right?
As far as my ride is concerned I drive a 2.0 160 hp Alfa Romeo 156, which is a really nice car.

In its time that was one solid little car, even when I had to use a bungy cord to keep it in gear.

Or a Prius!

I agree entirely. On second thought, maybe a HUMMER would be more entertaining.

Nah, how about an excursion, that is, if it can fit.

Nah Mike, a Prius would release too many toxic chemicals from the batteries. Don't breathe the smoke...

I agree, feed the Hippies to the grinder, the car needs to go to the recycler. Maybe we can take what little fat the hippies have in their bodies and make some decent biodiesel.

HAHAHA! I hate hippies! HAHAHAH!
Seriously, I think seeing the "President's" Hummer/Escalade/G-Wagen get shredded would've been much more entertaining.

First generation? That looks like a 1303... the last evolution of the rear-engined bug.
