I'm not a huge fan of oddball cars that were created to "blow people's minds."

 

The one that offends me the most is the van that some Scandinavians built, with the body on backwards so it appears it's going in reverse at normal posted speeds. IMO, those guys should be arrested for doing something dangerous.

 

But this one made me smile. I don’t know much about it, but as shown, it was moving down a sidewalk on its own, at walking speed.

Not bad at all. When, no, if, it falls over on the drivers door he will will have an interesting time getting out of it. Or do both doors open?

If you are/were a fan of the original Top gear from England this personal transportation made me laugh as well as shudder in it's claustrophobic design.

You just know someone is going to push that thing over just for the fun of it and run like hell.

I like the pickup truck on the tank chassis. When you get caught in traffic moving too slowly, you just run over them.  :laugh2:
