What was that old, terrible joke??


Ah!


Like Sekks with a Fat girl...


Wonderful fun....




...right up until your friends see you on it!
 
Umm...'doesnt look dorky' are you serious? That thing looks retarded.
 
College kids with money + Taurus + Time on their hands and you would probably end up with souped up Taurus with students having modern day chariot races, albeit the Taurus would be the chariot minus the horse. 😀
 
He looks like he needs a crap, but this could be a great way to be celibate! I would love to see how long he can ride through Brixton before being mugged and beaten up.......
 
It's all a conspiracy... See, by designing terrible concepts under fake "Upstart" companies, Ford & Co. (It's in the name, people! They're laughing at us!) can tell us, "See? Our shitty cars aren't so bad after all. This thing! This is your alternative!"
 
In the meantime over at ASU Skysong which is a technology center associated with Arizona State University one of the students designed a flashy 3 wheel scooter with lots of chrome that runs on two of those batteries used in hybrid cars. Two prototypes were unveiled yesterday afternoon. I got to take one for a little test drive. The thing will do 35 miles per hour. Unfortunately scooters are not that popular in the USA.

There are already electric (two wheeled) scooters that can do 40-50ish mph. They have problems, like unreliable battery level readings, but they are out there.
 
My biggest fear is that this will actually get a following and we will see the nerd version of motor cycle gangs on the roads.

Then again, nah, it will never happen.
