Not just better gas mileage than the Smartcar, but it’s probably safer, too. Oh, to be in an age where they let you build things like that. Today, in an age where teenagers are tried as child pornographers for pictures of themselves they send on their phones, I shutter to think of what they’d do to the kid driving that car today.

But I have to say it reminds ME of George Clooney.

If not for the $100k pricetag I could consider getting one. I guess there’s the alternative of the Trivette. I guess they call the current model the Wgilante.

It looks like the crushed but still drivable car from one of the Laurel and Hardy shorts.

(No, not the one sawed in half at the sawmill.)

Reminds me of Jaques Tati’s car in “Mr. Hulot’s Holiday”.
