That's about all they are good for. They should be the new standard for testing concrete.

I thought that little car did suprisingly well considering the lack of any realistic front end.

Nobody survives a crash into concrete at 70 mph........even if you're in an SD.

For general city use, it appears to be a fine vehicle.

I think they make fine golf carts, and would even be suitable, as a "Get around" at a race track, in the pits, or in field. That's about all I'd use one for though.

I, for one, really like them. Check this video out...

At least they are RWD. Engine is located under the floor in the back of the car. Just like a Porsche.

But really, they seem to be intended for younger peoples in big cities, which they seem pretty apt for.

Why did they have the windshield wipers on when no one was driving?

Too bad we don't have any of those tiny cars around here... Looks like something that we'd have fun carrying into the cafeteria at school every few days
