Preparation H will help you with that.

[WOBBLY BOB]

I can do that now in my current VW.

Where do I put the two kids, the dog, and the groceries?

At that price, you can buy them each one. The groceries could drive home by remote control.

Seriously, this could be revolutionary. A community that agreed/mandated that everyone use such vehicles could reduce their total transportation costs tremendously. They would have to provide separate roads for trucks and SUVs, however.

If you farted in that thing, you’d probably asphyxiate yourself.

With a properly designed fume extractor, you could divert the gas into the carburetor and probably get an extra 10 miles out of it. :=) Go to Taco Bell beforehand and you'll be all set for a long trip.

Look closely, it has FOUR wheels, so no motorcycle status.

So far as I know Nevada may be the only state that allows single seat cars on the road.

In looking at the updated article the car is now a two-seater, with a two cylinder gas engine, and the real price is over $30,000!

So it might be legal here, once a few hundred pounds of DOT nanny-state trash are added.

Is that a Gogomobile? Mental cobwebs interfere. sd

Does the AD plate with USA have the Euro flag on it?

NATO symbol instead. OTOH, I've heard they started issuing actual German plates to soldiers.

The Messerschmidt is cuter... and seats two.

[Joe Boucher]

Go cart?
Crappola, Looks like a coffin with wheels.

[The Comedian]

Thanks, I'll just walk and keep my dignity intact.

Frowning takes 68 muscles.
Smiling takes 6.
Pulling this trigger takes 2.
I'm lazy.

See the link I provided in the comment after that one ...

[goldstategop]

One seater car... where can I buy one here?

[truth_seeker]

The red car in the picture IS a Messerschmitt.

[Little Ray]

Exactly. Its a lot cuter...

[Hot Tabasco]

When hit by a semi-tractor trailer doing 65 mph it’ll look just like a junebug on the front grill.......

[SunkenCiv]

Well, I like it. ;’) I dare ya to drive it across the Mackinac Bridge. ;’) Thanks WOBBLY BOB.

[tcrlaf]

Another car you can be buried in after the truck hits you!!!
NO SCRAPING OR RINSING REQUIRED!

[SunkenCiv]

That’s a sweet ride. :’) I actually saw one the summer. “Gullwing” top.
