While I do not think we should ever be forced to buy things we disagree with, I do find this car to be a bit cute.

From IowaHawk, who apparently has ESP, creating this 2 years ago!

Introducing...The Obama Mobile!

[70times7]

This fuel efficient vehicle was powered byan air-cooled 199cc 1-cylinder, 2-stroke

Polluter! Polluter! Someone contact Algore right away. 2-strokes are evil and are melting the ice caps.

[Korah]

Nice duds dudes........ NOT!

[70times7]

Those guys look like they are only interested in the tail pipe.

In the late 70s - early 80s the US based HM Company made the FREEWAY, a 100 mpg 3 wheel car, similar to the Messerschmidt. They sold about 700 of them before they went out of business. More info here: http://www.3wheelers.com/freeway.html

Yes, but how does it handle on icy roads at 40 below? :-) Would it survive a collision with a four-door pick-m-up?

[grey_whiskers]

That looks like one of the futuristic ground cars from Woody Allen's Sleeper.

Cheers!

My neighbor owns a Messerschmitt. He takes it out on the road occasionally. It has no power. Looks like a toy.

Our personal transportation in the near future will be the old kind, repaired many times over. Many country people will continue driving their old “gas hogs” (especially those of us in the mountains), or many city people will starve.

Pickup truck fodder.

"Many country people will continue driving their old “gas hogs” (especially those of us in the mountains)"

I still drive a 1989 Dodge Ram 4x4. It's good for running over "Smart Cars" and the low life turds that drive them.

I really like the one with the OX.

[Attention Surplus Disorder]

I thought that model was known as a BMW “Isetta”, but I suppose several mfrs made similar form-factor “cars”.

I remember a buddy of mine who used to do tree/yard work *and* loved to work on weird vehicles found one of those completely covered with vegetation on a job he was working on. He went back with 3 burly dudes and they picked it up and put it in the back of his pickup! (With permission, of course) I never found out if he got it running, much less CA street legal.
