NihilismNow posted:It won't be 7k though. And just a few k more and you are into Toyota Aygo territory. Which is not a great car but hey at least it has 4 wheels and seats 4 small to moderate sized people. For 7-8k you can buy a pretty nice used Honda or Toyota sedan. lolling at how the whole thing looks like a scam especially when you read the financial disclosure information on the company and how the company keeps on pushing back ship dates.

Some crazy fucks will put a turbo superbike engine in one, should be interesting. Although it will probably come out as soon as this thing comes out, so never. http://www.flytheroad.com/

Saw one of those motorcycle-engine trike things coming out of the parking lot of a wildlife refuge I visited last Sunday. It sounded like it was powered by cat torture or something - it was not a healthy vehicle.

LordArgh posted:I'm always confused when companies proudly state that their product is "American made". Why would they want to advertise the fact that it'll be badly made and overpriced for what you're getting? What year do you think this is?

It's like how old conservative comedians still make jokes about the DMV and everyone in the audience is like wtf (what the gently caress) you can register your car online now dummy.

Can someone tell me the point of a 3 wheeled car? Like, what advantage does it have over 4 wheels?

Usually it's been a motorcycle engine powering one wheel and then a car shaped canopy on top. It's one of those ideas that pops up as cheap local transportation during a gas crisis or in crowded area with no parking, or in countries where motorcycle licenses are easier to get

I mean there's gonna be less rolling resistance so it should be good? Although a regular car with 25% narrower tires would probably be better

It's one of those ideas that pops up as cheap local transportation during a gas crisis or in crowded area with no parking, or in countries where motorcycle licenses are easier to get I guess, but you still have to move more mass, so why not just hook that motor up to a drive train and power two wheels. The car is that wide anyhow and you don't really lose that much energy afaik. Sophy Wackles fucked around with this message at 01:37 on Sep 29, 2016 |
