Yea - I'm thinking it will offer a little more crash protection than my Harley Davidson.

A la the BMW Isetta. The poor Isetta was just ahead of its time. Like the Tucker.

That's not that little three-wheeled car whose front swung out to get in and out, is it?

think Urkel mobile... that's what he drove in the show... I think one episode he got it up to "top speed" around 25MPH... funny
about 1/2 way down the page on this one is the original and the concept update from BMW...

1987 300TD
2005 Dodge Sprinter 2500 158"WB
1994GMC 2500 6.5Turbo truck... I had to put the ladder somewhere!

If everyone drove like they were strapped to the front of their vehicles, there would be no accidents.

A truer statement I've not heard anywhere else. It would not matter what you drove, only that you drove carefully.

I recall hearing a tale about a late '50s lot attendant that had to park one of these things, and got it right up against a wall so the door wouldn't open. Then he couldn't get it into reverse!

Happy Motoring, Mark

Actually, they have four wheels but the rears are very close together.

So, wearing a helment while driving it would be recommended?

does want

though the "doors" are pretty neat. the entire front half of the car swings up... most cool!

I'll believe it when I see it.

Me too! But it's ugly as h**l. I'd have to puke before I could get in it.

Its cool. Someone is trying something new. Maybe not the solution for all people but I think I would buy one if I needed it. I have had 13 crotch rockets so I don't really care about the safety aspect. When your numbers up, thats it. RT
