That things balla as. Look how smug that guy is, cruising down the highway in his ballamobile.

"oh, this? *lifts awesome canopy door, gets in* yeah its no big deal"
*puts on shades, diesel turbz off into the sunset*

Seriously though I'd rock that thing to and from work every single day and I would have the hugest grin doing it. This is what commuter cars should aim for, because it owns.

Think, if there could be a 'industry standard' for a '2 seat low pollution commuter car' class of vehicle, how that could change the way things are done.

Parking buildings could be replaced with giant mechanical vending machine type things where you drive into a single bay on ground floor, and swipe your card. Then the parking building collects your car and stores it away within the building. It would mean instead of idling in line at rush hour to get out of the parking building, you just stand in line waiting for your turn to collect your car.

Evidently tokyo doriftsu is the way of the future.

although, some things never change and it looks like the 'mad rb26 swap, bro', is going to be a timeless classic.

Said automated garages already exist and are common place in many high density cities. Still a pretty premium service though, running them would be a lot easier if all cars weighed a third of an echo.

You know, I just clicked to something.

Jerry Seinfeld is Jewish, and Porsches are German...

A Jew getting revenge and 'owning' the Germans?
Motorsport is like sex. You could take it to track and have a long, enjoyable session, or you could take it to the strip and get it over with in less than 20 seconds.
