Small cars

I know you guys aren't Top Gear fans, but I think everyone will enjoy this. Jeremy Clarkson drives the world's smallest production car ever.

I want one of those soo bad. I wonder how much trouble I could get in driving the thing into Wal-Mart...

Re: Small cars

Holy Crap.... That looks awesome! I would be able to drive around all of the areas that I have to walk while on campus! I think that something like this, would be terribly awesome if it were given a bit of a larger engine so that one might be able to travel a little faster!

Re: Small cars

That was awesome, put a roll cage in one, and it's perfect for campus, just roll it down the stairs and go to class.

Re: Small cars

I reminded my of the Jetsons from some reason.

Just think how light they could make one today if you didn't care about safety.

Re: Small cars

I found a video where the last few minutes aren't cut off, so there's a new link in my original post if you guys want to check that out.

1. A roll cage would add weight.
2. I don't think that there's really any place to put a roll cage that would do anything important.

Anyway you won't die in one from rolling over. You'll die in one from being plowed into by a soccer mom in a Suburban who's on her cell phone.

Wouldn't stop me from buying one though. I wouldn't dare use it as a daily driver, but I'd buy one.
