who says that spare in the trunk is useless, would cut into cargo space I guess.
The car didn’t explode like it was supposed to.
Somebody in the middle east came up with this?
Saw something almost identical in one of my pappy’s old Popular Science/Popular Mechanics/
Mechanix Illustrated magazines from the 1950’s, invented in – where else? America.
You know, back when we actually built/engineered/ thought of stuff.
Now even chicks will be able to parallel park.
I seem to recall that some guy in Paris had a Renault Alpine fitted with a 5th wheel for just the same purpose.
Plus ça change plus c’est la même chose.
That’s pretty inventive esp. from the looks of that parking environment!
That’s some great Arab ingenuity! Almost makes you wonder why no one has done it before…
i remember candid camera shots like this one.
This feature will certainly be on the next Rinspeed Geneva Show car
My first thought was what would happen if you dropped that fifth wheel at about 60mph. Could open up a whole new division of motorsport.
Cool!
There is nothing wrong with that picture!
Hilarious!
The guy would be able to achieve the same result by backing into the parking space, but this is a gread idea ;-)
That’s the new Renault “Crab”.
eat your heart out Lexus! :)
What’s wrong with the picture is if that giant truck that he’s ‘parked in’ decides to leave before he does, his ‘clever’ device will reside in crumpled sheet metal and broken glass.
