Default New or Old look at these

Look at these buggys(well sort of) in this video



they look like kids toys or something that a beginner driver should be required to drive a while before being allowed to drive the family car.

There's the answer to our "energy crisis"!!!

That P50, the "higher end one", was a flippin pull start!!

Hit a raccoon in one of those and you may not walk away from that accident. But, I bet the raccoon would. *

A dozen of those, a bunch of orange traffic cones and a large parking lot. *

Need I say more?

Monster Garage did an episode with the little bubble car and an all midget build team. Turbo Hayabusa was the plan but they failed to pull it off in the required time frame. Too bad. It was going to be toatally hauilin' azz midget style. Hilarious and dangerous. Perfect!

Aptera has the fix for my 60 mile round trip to work every day... Local company as well. Before you say how ugly check the specs on both the electric and gas enabled versions.

I never would have figured that Amergin was such a Studley Petermore!

A fricken horse would be better/cheaper/faster than a bubble car.

Have you fed a horse lately? I currently spend $450 a month for gas just to get back and forth to work. With the Aptera my gas expense would be $45 every 57 days or $290 a year vs $5400. They could paint pink, slap any slogan they like on the ugly thing and I would gladly drive back and forth to work.

You guys haven't seen my latest modeling shots
