I love American ingenuity

Throw a baby diesel in this and it would do even better...

Re: I love American ingenuity

Diesel would rock, except you would look like an idiot drivign that thing haha. I love it, now every tree hugger thinks that will be the greatest thing around, just like they did with the prius', when in reality its just as, if not more, inefficient than any other car on the road. No one thinks about all the electricy used in those cars and where it comes from.

Re: I love American ingenuity

Doesn't look much different in basic design then Corbin's Sparrow, and it was a flop. Time will tell....

Maybe Ranch Hand will make a replacement bumper to help with its safety rating.

Re: I love American ingenuity

Cool idea, as far as safety goes: If you ride a motorcycle as I do, then safety is about the same. Only difference is the car has a steel captule and the motorcycle is what it is "open"

Not a family car. On an individual level though, I would like one if I could tint the windows.
