On my way to work today, I saw a car smaller than a 1200. Smaller than a Mini, maybe even smaller than an original mini.

It said "Home" on the front and "Smart" on the back. It had a regular Washington state license plate (not manufacturer plate or anything). This is odd, since the Smart car isn't sold in the US as far as I've been able to determine.

It reminded me of some mad sci-fi vehicle, like an exo-skeleton around a driver ... the driver sitting bolt upright inside a little glass machine with four wheels ...

its a renault theres two diffrent types, seen quite a few round here, one is short and sporty looking, shape kinda like a lotus, the othe is tall and square looking

This one was tall and squarish, like a tardis or a phone booth on wheels.

Well, it gave me a hell of a fright seeing a car come across the harbour and up the boat ramp.
So apparently it's an 'Aquada' boat/car thing. At $400,000 I guess they are targeting the 'rich idiot' niche market.

After that, seeing a car small enough to park sideways in a parking space doesn't seem so crazy.

i think you guys are talking about that erkle mobile.. ... ..."it sorda looks like you are standing and driving" .. like it is an "upritecar" ...?????.... is that what its like???????

yeah its got a really tall flat back on it and the driver is close to the back of it, i guess he looks pretty upright in it

yeah, man ... i think i saw one of those,,, but the one i saw the driver was in front... "like the only thing in front of him was a windsheald".... and a steering wheel...

what bout the good old MIGHTY BOY little beast lol
