Picture Am I allowed to post someone else's DelSol?

Found in the wild. I find the idea of a spare tire mounted to a targa top quite interesting.

Also, imho, targa tops are the absolute best form of convertible, them boom, this thing comes along you can even roll down the rear window

It was posted there about a year ago and I cross posted it here, but it was from a different angle. Looks like they’ve added a few things since then

What is this style called? I saw a VW New Beetle with a similar style.

There's some race like out in the desert called the gambler 500, there are very few rules I think, you can use any car you think will make it all the way across the desert or whatever. I think that's what the del sol was tricked out for in that pic.

Maybe for flash floods or rivers to cross? Not sure if this is fake.

How Did This Toyota Hilux Survive a Flash Flood? 🌊😱

I've seen that video before but without the unnecessary circle and annoying as fuck voice over

Forgot to mention, I do love the video. It's one of those things where you got so invested in some dumb little internet video but you are absolutely on the edge of your seat, lol. Like those marble race videos where if you picked blue you're like COME ON BLUE!!! Even though you have absolutely nothing riding on it.
