There was a guy here in town (Daytona) who had a VW bus shortened like
this. It basically was a windshield, the front doors, and the back of the
bus - looked like a phone booth on wheels. He had a pair of drag-racer
style struts with little wheels (wheelie bars) on the back so it wouldn't
tip over on acceleration. I saw it from time to time, for about a year.

He wrecked it one fine day by making an emergency stop and having it flop
forward onto the windshield  - and slid face-down, top-first into whatever
it was he was trying not to hit.

This cured him of building tall skinny vehicles. He wasn't particularly
hurt, but he did realize the error of his ways.
