    Anyone notice in the specs:

    * Miles per gallon: 21 (targeted across all drive circles) targeted is probably not a good choice of descriptor here...

    * Operational elevation before performance degradation: Up to 10,000 ft. ASL - ASL? = American Shuffleboard League? Or does this 10k feet mean that you can drop it out of the V-22 at that altitude?

    Isn't it cheaper to drop bombs on the baddies instead of this pedal-car? #militaryvehicles

    @HiramJahoovafat: Not really, bombs are very, very 'spensive. The vehicles (military aircraft) that carry the bombs are even more 'spensive. A dumb bomb can cost many tens of thousands of dollars. Smart or guided drop bombs can be hundreds of thousands of dollars, each. Tomahawk missiles are about $600k, each. Cruise missiles go up from there.

    If the military types could ever figure out how to connect with some 'eco-tail', as you so delicately put it, there might be a whole lot less wars. Then there'd be a whole lot more time for joyriding through the boonies, with some eco-chick at your side. #militaryvehicles

    This is a clear rip off of some Japanese van, but the name eludes me.


    I want to say it looks like a rip off of the Suzuki WagonR RR RR (yes that's 5 R's)...


    I support this vehicle, though. It is an honest to goodness car and I don't outright hate it for being as blatant as their other knockoffs.
