Hyabusa motor!

 

Front looks like a prowler. Great MPG, less than $7k. Great alternative to a motorcycle.

Depending on what bells and whistles this thing gets, I would be VERY interested in one.

 

That's what I'm thinking, Commuting, small errands.

Fun? Yeah.

 

Fugly yet functional. I'll stick with my gas hog Expedition.

 

I can see your expedition on this things *** lol.

 

Interesting to see if it does end up with a 5 star crash rating. Most of the video shot at a mall right by my house.

 

Fugly, but kinda cool. Great for train commuters. Plus, you save 25% on tire replacements....

 

I think they're being very optimistic when it come to price. I wish them luck.
This is what they're building just 13 miles away from where I live.

Now, THAT is 'effing ugly.

I wouldn't buy it.

Holy Mother of God...

And only room for one.

Or a stack of pizzas.

 

Every thing old is new again?

Messerschmitt KR200



BMW Isetta



All set for the trip out west.


My favorite, the Morgan. http://www.motortrend.com/roadtests/...r_first_drive/

 

Yeah, yeah...I saw an Isetta go for ~ $30K at auction a few years ago.

Well, some folks have too much $$$.

 

I totally agree Max. The only time I ever saw one was in the Goldfinger movie. (actually I think there were 3 of them if I remember correctly).
I don't think they're selling very well because I've never seen one on the road yet. It's a good thing the Company builds "Transformers" as their main business.
The last time I spent $7k for a brand new car, was in 1984 when I bought a red Honda CRX. I loved that car. (My Wife even cried a little when we traded it in on a Accord).
It's unbelievable what those old BMW's are bringing at BJ's auction. All those "Micro Mini's" from the 50's are going for crazy $$$. Being as old as I am, I remember seeing them all the time in the summer months when I was a kid.

 

 

Different geometry. It WILL still roll, though.

In reverse.

 

I think it was back in the 60's I read that the Federal Government spent 100's of thousands of dollars on "research" trying to determine the reason why children fell off their tricycles.
I don't remember exactly how long they spent on the study, but their final conclusion was, "It's an inherently unstable design".
I don't think they ever figured out to simply just go backwards.
It must have been before the "Big Wheel" was invented.

 

It seats two.
