If you could make a vehicle as small, or smaller than this, with four wheels, and a good amount of horsepower, would you drive it?

I have a Swift. I think it's smaller. Or it at least has less real metal.

Not in this country of oversized SUVs. Maybe in a cramped city.

Wow, and I thought John Brown had ADD. This takes that to another level.

Just saw this on Top Gear. It does not have reverse. It's slow, cramped, and no, I would not want one. Al Gore thinks you should have one that runs on batteries. Or walk. Or stay home.

If someone prescribed you some Xanax, would you take it?

If a tree falls in the wood and smashes an automatic echo, would anyone care?

Oh, yeah, this has actually been done too.
VFR800 powered go-karts.

True that, but it wouldn't be hard to start with a smaller frame. Those are obviously purpose-overbuilt.

Maybe not on the highway, but yes, I'd drive it.
Shouldn't have let that rotary powered riding mower slip through my fingers....

I think horsepower in one of those things would be counterproductive. It would just make it harder to keep it on the sidewalk.

No. Because if I ever got in it you would have to use the jaws of life to get me back out.

What?
I said if you were a hot dog, would you eat yourself? I would! I'd be delicious!
Just isn't the same when you don't hear Harry Carey's voice doing it...
But to answer the question, why would I drive that when I could ride a motorcycle and have a chance of not dying when I got on the freeway?

might as well get a Segway. Just as slow, just as stupid-looking, and probably handles better..
