tony hardware 0 Posted November 2, 2006 While I was in Italy, I stood next to one. My arms reached from bumper to bumper. I'm 5'11''. I would rather drive a golf cart. No really, golf carts are a lot of fun to drive. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
edjr 6,119 Posted November 2, 2006 No fockin way I buy one I don't care what gas costs in a couple years. No way will I get one. These can't be safe. Are you serious? of course i'd buy one. They have to be safer than a motorcycle and just as easy to park. Imagine the spot you could squeeze into with parallel parking? if nothing else, i can use it on the golf course. Sign me up!

FranksTanks 0 Posted November 2, 2006 Imagine the spot you could squeeze into with parallel parking? I think these would be great for living in the city, especially considering parking. I was talking about these with someone from work this morning and apparently they are so short you can just pull in head first into a spot with the back sticking out towards the street. Thats pretty cool. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Big_Pete 0 Posted November 2, 2006 thats whats so rediculous about all these cars. they get 40mpg... big deal, so do alot of 4-6 cyl cars. so why do a tiny 3 cyl car if it only gets the same mileage? show me a smart car that gets 100+ mpg and I'll buy it. Instead of finding ways to make a smaller engine have the same mpg, start researching how to get better mpg with what we got. If they keep making these engines smaller and smaller, they wont get any better mpg cause they'll have to rip through fuel to have enough power to move the car plus the fat azzes who buy them Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I would think that's better for everyone in the long-run Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I would think that's better for everyone in the long-run I dont know about you, but I'm thinking it'd probably produce the same emmisions as say a 4 cylinder saturn that gets like 40+ mpg.... but thats just my way of thinking. 3cyl would have to work harder than a 4cyl engine, thus probably more emissions...

GettnHuge 1 Posted November 3, 2006 I suppose it won't get the same gas mileage here because it doesn't make min weight safety limits for autos in this country as it is now. It's not just that it would be crushed in an accident but semis would blow it off the road. good luck in the snow didn't they threaten to send another version of this thing here like a year ago?

Electric Mayhem 35 Posted November 3, 2006 I agree with the above. In order for that car to be desireable, it should either retail for under 9K, or get like 60-70MPG. Both would be better. What is the 0-60 speed on that with 2 people in it? If it were too high that would make the car unsafe in my opinion - especailly on my local highway. Also, with that little weight and those tiny tires, I think it would be practically useless in the winter where it snowed. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

After thinking about it, why pay 15k for a toy that gets 40 MPG? It should be less than 10k and get 50 - 60 MPG Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
phillybear 365 Posted November 3, 2006 From the owner's manual... Now, this vehicle is easily operated using four flexigrip handles. Two of them are on each side. Left side for throttle, right side for steering. The third flexigrip is gently inserted into the anus, to keep the driver in place....there we go. Now, the final flexigrip is directly in front of the driver so that its small switches can be operated with the mouth, as such. Put the four together and we're ready to go.

[zombie] 0 Posted November 3, 2006 i would buy one in a minute...if we could keep our other car. i drive mine 5 miles to work and 5 miles to the train each day...do the math and that's about 2500 miles/year. add an extra 500 for miscellaneous errands at lunch time. i could get through the year on 75 gallons of gas and park it in my cubicle.
