Ya sure get some funny looks going down the road.It got to the point I hated to stop at a rest area to pee,every time I got ready to leave there was a crowd of people standing around it taking pictures and a million questions followed. (Answers)Its made by Mercedes-Benz,15K out the door,3 cylinder gas 71 hp.,I don't really know how fast it will go but at 85mph. it gets really light.Yes it has heat and AC,FM/AM/CD,power windows& brakes,air bags up the ya-ya,electronic stability control,traction control rear engine rear drive,5 speed auto or stick shift,holds 8 gallons of gas and will go around 300 miles on a tank I have to say this car is the most fun mobile I've driven in a long time. And pretty quick to boot.At all e-way ramps I'm hitting 65-70 before entering the highway,so it ain't no slouch!! BBGun Bob SE Mich.

Honestly, it's not really a car. More like two motorcycles with a lot of luxury. Are they still rear wheel driven? _________________ BIG GAP   Posted: Mon Jan 19, 2009 10:40 am oddtodd Silver Status Member Joined: 30 Dec 2008 Posts: 2029 Location: Richmond, IN USA I didn't know mercedes opened a gokart factory. lol J/K It's actually pretty cool looking. Do you get blown around by semis on the interstate? _________________ Airguns: Two starlings talking "Larry, did you hear that? Larry??

It could be a blast in the snow. _________________ ¡Listo! ¡Apunte! ¡Fuego!   Posted: Mon Jan 19, 2009 11:24 am Alstone Moderator & Site Supporter Joined: 01 Mar 2007 Posts: 4139 Location: Linconshire, ENGLAND There called pizza delivery buggies around here Bob.

On the freeway at 65-75mph it handles like any other car,it does not drive anything like it looks,it seems to feel as though your in a normal size compact car,like a Ford Focus,GM Aveo(Geo) , Toyota Prius or Honda Fit. Because the rear wheels are wider in stance than the front wheels it is very stable even when passing a semi or being passed by one.It actually has as much room inside it as my short cab Ford Ranger PU.I've had fun parking it in the buggy rack area at Meijer's and the Save-A-Lot grocery store.I can also back it in or pull it into the curb between 2 cars and it don't stick out into the road,after all its just a little bigger than a 4X8 sheet of plywood.LOL I had to buy me a big red Clown nose at Gags and Gifts to put on when I see a bunch of little kids coming at me in a SUV or Mini van,for some reason the little guys love that car. To bad I can't find a Monogram or AMT model car sticker to put on it.I've thought about a large wind up key like this one.(below) But they want $180 for one.

I once saw two cars, and a smart with a girl in it. That's never gonna work I thought. I thought wrong. She just drove it between the two cars without turning. _________________ BIG GAP Here's the one I really wanted   Posted: Tue Jan 20, 2009 11:07 am BBGun Bob Veteran Member Joined: 29 Oct 2007 Posts: 474 Location: Michigan Lots of bling don't ya think???
