And don’t forget bluetooth wearing, popped collar, BMW poseurs!

Actually, they’re bluetooth wearing, popped collar, Audi poseurs now.

That’s it — use the fabric skin from the BMW GINA concept. Tata probably has a subsidiary making polyester stretch pants for K-Mart. Use that, and the cars will just bounce off each other in collisions.

Assuming this is physically possible, do you really want to be in the unintended path of a car that just bounced off of something?

The solution is simple- find something other than steel to build them! =)

Does anyone else remember the SNL commerial parody for a car called “The Adobe”? I can hear the jingle in my head now, “The great little car that’s made out of claaayyyyy…” Dirt’s still pretty cheap. lol

late 90s Cherokee 4.0s and Blazers are going for roughly $1500

I’ve had this fantasy many a time while sitting on the LIE trying to get into Manhattan.

All you need is a cheap deth truk and a cow catcher and nobody will ever cut you off again without suffering at your hands.

The price cannot be contained as advertised, none the less is going to be one of the cheapest car avail on the market.
So as the damn gas it was a buck a litre beginnng of ths year, what now, 1.54 and by labour day wknd it will be more. Or could came down agan recause nobody’s driving anymore.
Should we all park our cars for a damn week we could bring the Seven sisters to ther knees too.
But they know we know it cannot be done.

OT I drove by a Bike ATV place that carry these Kawasaki or whatever made 4 wheels ATV for farming or Hunting with small 2 cyl engine a roll cage that retail for 10 grand here. The pr could come down if massly mported.
Isn’t that be nice if we could licence them for road use?
They got to be safer than a motor bike but no dice, the NHTSA must be n bed with the big 2.8 so no small cars can set foot on our autobahn legally.

I’ll be on the lookout for the movie, WC Fields is a gas. RE the Caravan, I rode in the rear seat of a 2k Caravan with 6 other people. It is pretty good at what it is designed for.
