Odd sorts of "push-me-pull-you" - always thought the Fiat 500 Multipla would
have been a good candidate for not knowing which way it was going.
We had one guy that did this sort of thing to a Volkswagen, but he screwed up
in the planning and didn't flip the transaxle for the front engine in the
right manner.
Boy genius fired up both engines and I don't recall if the result was that it
tried to back into itself, or if it tried to go in two different directions,
but it was reputed to be hilarious in any case.
