Pikachu VW Beetle Hits eBay

I CHOOSE YOU, VWI only know ONE Pokemon superfan who's of driving age—he's pushing 30!—but there must be someone out there who really wants to tool around town in a Pikachu electric yellow Volkswagen Beetle.

Strike now, trainers! You only have 5 days in which to bid on the 1998 promo car. The thing looks like it's in fairly good shape, with only 37,000 miles logged and, according to the seller, "clean bill of health". It's got a Gamecube in the trunk, too.

The most curious thing about the auction?

We are selling because we are getting ready to have a baby and need something larger than this car.

Hold it. I can understand needing a little extra cash, but are you saying this is your only ride? Crazy!
