I dont think it would pull my trailer with my tractor, but it would fit in the bucket of it. Really, now that I think of it, I'd have to have two of those cars. One for each foot ;D

If things keep going the way they are we'll all be forced to drive something like that while the people that legislate it fly in military 737's all around the world to talk about climate change.

You'd think with all of today's technology they could make these things a little more attractive and keep the same functionality.  It looks like they took the design ques from a cardboard box sitting on two mopeds, then added in a few curves for aerodynamics.  On the other hand I guess it wouldn't be too bad to sacrifice style points for super gas mileage.

I kinda like that new Toyota FT-CH concept.  It looks pretty cool.

:D  No kidding. Chevyrado, where did you get that pic from?? Those are actually vintage, as told by the yellowing soles but the white leather. When new, they were the same bright white. I remember the fierce competition for the latest Air high-tops and Reebok pumps my buddy and I had with each other in junior high in the late 80's. I trumped him big time when I find a pair of brand-new, just released Air 180 Barkely high-tops, complete with selectable, inflatable heel and ankle sections, and brought them home from summer vacation. His mouth dropped. Yeahhhhhhhhhhh   ;D   Before those, I wanted a pair of Air Flight high-tops soooooooo bad. They were $160, which was quite a bit more money back in the late '80s than it is now. The 180 shoes were, fittingly, $180.

Anyways, I'm getting way off topic. Sorry :)
