There are 2 cars on that trailer. I still have a hard time calling them a car. One was straight on the back and this other was tucked in behind.. . Crazy. It was so strange to see, that I took this photo.

“I’ve heard that it’s passenger compartment cage literally makes it one of the safest vehicles on the road.”
Dude, I don’t care what it’s made out of... if it’s involved in a high speed accident with a bigger vehicle, it’s toast.
You are right! Finally, something for the VeeWees to bully!

that’s a lot better than I would expect.
When one of those NAFTA trucks inevitably hits it, you are in luck. It doubles as a coffin.
It is very safe. They bounce instead of crushing- I saw one get broadsided by a pickup truck and the driver walked away without a scratch; the car took a small dent in the driver’s door but otherwise was fine.
leftist hate big cars period.
the enviro left is only happy when people are miserable and suffer.
The one way it would work is to have a pop top or elastic roof. W.C. Fields had a car like that in the 1933 movie International House (hilarious movie and pre-code, too).
The roof was rubber and his head would push it up a few inches. He'd put his top hat on top of the bulge in the roof. By they way, that's Burns and Allen on the roof and hood and, yes, that is Bella Lugosi pushing from the back.
The site I link to above that talks about the movie does get at least one thing wrong. They say the film was set in Wu Wu, China. It's really set in Wu Hu, China. That's important to the first Fields gag in the film. He's an adverturer / aviator flying from Kansas City, Kansas to Kansas City, Missouri in his autogyro and he's lost. He lands his aircraft on the roof garden of the International House Hotel in Wu Hu China (he's really lost and the movie is that silly). He leans out and asks this very attractive (by the standards of the time) and scantily clad woman "Where am I?" She replies "Wu Hu." He leers at her and says "I'll talk to you later" then turns to the supercilious manager (the guy in the black suit sitting on the front of the hood above) and repeats the question. When the manager also answers "Wu Hu" Fields pulls the flower out of his lapel, throws it away and mutters "Don't let the posie fool ya." As I said, pre-code.
No, it would be casually absorbed, only to re-appear in late March.
How hard would it be to roll one over?
Thaaaaanks!
Will Ralph “Nadir” please step forward to declare this car unsafe at any speed?
It would make a great dingy for my Hummer......
Yep, I get that a lot when I tell folks the kind of mileage my Vette gets!
Of course if I don't keep my foot out of it, I can majorly decrease my fuel economy!
Everybody else ought to own one!
It would more likely be; “I found this after it got blown off Mt. Washington!”
It’ll “reappear” about a week after the snowstorm, when some poor unsuspecting front-end loader operator picks it up ...
