He&amp;#x27;s a very sharp and funny guy too.  Ron was on the David Letterman show and Dave was cracking up while interviewing Ron right before he ran his bug down the track at the old Altamont Dragstip  &lt;a href=&quot;https:&amp;#x2F;&amp;#x2F;youtu.be&amp;#x2F;XTzxptdvt3c&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;https:&amp;#x2F;&amp;#x2F;youtu.be&amp;#x2F;XTzxptdvt3c&lt;/a&gt;&lt;p&gt;I always enjoyed visiting Ron&amp;#x27;s lab at Stanford and chatting him up. Between talking with him and Fritz Rinehart at the other engine lab down the hall in bldg 500 I always felt I learned something new about combustion.&lt;p&gt;Personally, I preferred his 572 hemi mid sixties Chrysler.

I actually worked in the same office park they did. Hearing an afterburner blast when working late one night was quite a suprise! I must say that it made my day to wonder out investigating only to find a Beetle with a jet engine doing afterburner blasts :)</text><parent_chain></parent_chain></comment><story><title>Ron Patrick&apos;s Street-Legal Jet Powered Volkswagen Beetle (2006)</title><url>http://www.ronpatrickstuff.com</url></story>
