That looks like a very small switch engine, based on the interior instruments.

Looks like an early 50's Cadillac crest on the front...  Cadillac sized and powered Reliant Robin?

Totally a "nope" for me. I've never worked on a lion, but the tiger and the leopard that I treated were very intimidating.

That cage doesn't look nearly strong enough.

Google images say that is a Chevy Spark. Clearly it isn't. But what is it?

In all seriousness, I hope everybody in the path gets out of the way and damage is minimal. I'm fairly far inland in NC, and I was taking steps to minimize damage myself.

I've never understood why so many of these little "I'm a car pretending to be a motorcycle" 3-wheelers go with the single wheel in front.  It is clearly more stable to go with a rear-engine design with a single fixed rear wheel and bipedal front.  And how different would the packaging be?  Build it like a Smart with a single rear wheel.

How could this:

possibly drive as well as this:

 

I know there are plenty of examples with 2 front wheels.  But why are there even ANY with only one?
