Re: MIT. 'nuf said.
That was just the bodywork.
The Seniors at Cubberly High School (Palo Alto) welded a complete VW bug/beetle onto the top of the School's Totem in the late 1960s. The car was running when the staff got to work in the morning. You can still see the tabs the car was mounted to welded to the top of the supporting i-beams in the picture, taken over 40 years later. I can't find a pic of the car on top online, but I know they exist ... I think I still have access to the negs.
Not to be outdone, some ten years later we disassembled the Principle's own VW, and lovingly reassembled it in his office. He walked into work, to find it idling where his desk should be ...
