It's actually a brilliant piece of engineering on behalf of whoever did the mods.

The floorpan is designed to fall out under engine failure, so the car can be operated in Flintsone mode. It wasnt shown, but I believe the drivers side panel was also ejected.

That also explains how they were able to get around so easily while the cops were chasing them, despite the blown piston rings. Vin Diesels mighty footpower.

Just for reference. Etnies non-slip grip soles rule for flinstone mode driving applications.

Mike you don't stand by your car...you are either sitting next to it changing out stripped wheels studs and bearings or under the hood wrenching.

You should be going to MIT or something.

No man...I got that attention disorder.

Ohh...ADD

Yes.....that shit!
