I remember seeing that episode. It left quite a gas/oil contrail. I'd cruise around the 'hood in on of those. I like that convertible! It's about as close to a street legal go-kart as you can get.

For those who can't afford the real thing ( or a Messerschmitt, TG500 (Tiger), Goggo Dart, Isetta, Scootacar, Kleinschnittger F125, Peel Trident, Bamby and Mopetta) or want something a little less fragile you can get a kit car version!

Probably have a heckuva time trying to register it here.

Men shouldn't go cruisin' for babes in that thing...if either of them should get a "woodie", they won't be able to get out!

Shoot, the shift in weight from a single woodie could destabilize that thing and cause a crash!
