  1. They belong on the Autopia at Diddleyland. Two bag limit when shopping. A golf cart that’s not big enough for a golf club. A soccer ball for semis.

  2. It looks worse than an Isetta and a Smart car who had car sex and produced this tiny electric abortion. If you were clobbered in this tiny clown car they might just as well bury you and the tiny car together. It’d only be gay if it was rainbow colored.

  3. The “White Dudes for Kamala” are having palpitations over this … so excited they’re having ejaculations without touching their … uhh … ding-dongs!

  4. The one benefit of these is city parking. But I would never, ever consider taking one on a highway. Better than a scooter is about all you can say (which I will never ride – I just visited a young friend whose life was shattered riding one.)
    Also, I happened to skip to the part where he said no antilock brakes. That isn’t legal in US, and I sure would want any new car I bought to have them.

  5. Last thing I want is another battery to charge. Spend to much time now charging everything that needs a battery. Best part is when the item gets older and needs more charging then find out battery needs replaced and is no longer available or worse cost more the the replacement item. Have several tools now with that problem. I don’t want a car with that problem.

  6. A huge entrapment risk, just like the Isetta, but with the added attraction of burning battery, but you’re probably dead of impact injuries before the flames reach you anyway. Head On = Dead.

    “Sales might very well have dried up anyway though, as anybody interested in owning one could very well have already died in a crash in one. With nothing but a couple thin layers of sheet metal between you and whatever you hit, hitting anything more solid than a squirrel would send the front-opening door buckling right into your knees.”

  7. I used to call Isetta’s the ultimate slug bug, I told my kids if they ever saw one that they were permanently exempt from ever being hit again from their siblings while we were driving. They never saw one and the last one that I ever saw was over 20 years ago. The original Subaru’s that were imported to the US in the late 60’s were tiny as well and shaped like an egg. They also had 10-inch wheels; I know that from one coming into my dad’s Shell station once back then with a flat tire that we couldn’t repair because the wheels were too small for our tire machine.

  8. They are legal in the US: they are called “golf carts.”

    He was critical of it not having power steering? A car like that needs power steering? The 1969 Dodge Polaras use by the California Highway Patrol did not have power steering and those front wheels sat underneath a 440 Magnum engine. https://code3garage.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/06/1969_dodge_polara_pursuit-chp-1.png

    And why waste money on seatbelts? Somebody bumping into you while parallel parking would probably give you fatal injuries. YOU are the crumple zone.

    “Hookers won’t even approach one to solicit sex.”

    …she would say “Mister, you don’t need ME. Your car ALREADY sucks!”

    “You want an ugly car?
    Messerschmitt says “hold my beer”:”

    …ugly, yes, but who wouldn’t want bragging rights to be able to say “I was at the controls of my own Messerschmitt!”…
