It's crazy how close to 'side by side' old dune buggies were. Thank god a company like honda never fully developed them. Gave us a good 30 years of being free of the things before polaris picked it up

We've got a polaris general (more utility version of a razor) and god that thing makes work better on roads that aren't roads anymore. But damn the world was a better place before...well, you know.

Here I am about to lose my fucking mind stuck behind some douchebags creeping along a dirt road in Utah. My off-road vehicle is a VW Golf R.

Looks like you have a fair bit of room to overtake.

Yeah I passed soon after the picture as the road widened.

This should help: they actually do have rear view mirrors.

Almost looks like they swapped out a fork truck drive train.

but........why?

What is this Fiat 500 and why is it almost a 3 wheeler?

Spotted on the darn Nurburgring of all places is this truly odd looking Fiat 500. We think it may be a manufacturer prototype.

www.carsguide.com.au

There is a German third-party company that will do this to a range of small cars for $5k. They'll do it to Volkswagen Polos, Seat Ibizas, Skoda Fabias or Fiat 500s.

It invloves changing the rear axle and de-tuning the engine to only 15kW. This is to re-classify the vehicle so that anyone as young as 16 can drive it.

Allows 16 year olds to drive 2 years earlier as it’s classified as a three wheeler. But good luck accelerating and merging onto the Autobahn with 15 horsepower.

i.e. the whole thing is a *terrible* idea...

Yep. As bad as the driving age of 16 here.

Allows 16 year olds to get plowed over by semi trucks as they merge onto freeways.

At least it's an ethos

Better than nihilism for sure. I still can’t believe that thing got certified in this regulation loving country of all places. And I seriously think that any passenger car under 100hp is a safety risk on the Autobahn.

 

[Sandro]

14 to drink, 18 to drive and never old enough to own firearms. The way god intended.

Don't give that warmongering nutjob the credit. That level of civilization is how the @FSM intended.

Srsly - it's *ridiculous* the driving age here is 16. But it does reinforce the notion that you *have* to have a car to be a functional member of this society.

Not a GS/Aristo. I want to say it's a Nissan Cima but I can't place that C pillar contour via Google Images.

 

[Sandro]

I also thought Nissan, but can’t figure out the model. Paging @IH8Rice

Fun fact: Hawks are diurnal. The US ‘Nighthawk’ is neither a true hawk or nocturnal. It hunts in the evening and sleeps at night.

The blue/greenish one? That’s a Nissan 240sx with a body kit, circa 93.
