Default OK, is THIS low enough for you?

We've seen cars bagged and slammed into the pavement, but they are nothing compared to a full-sized car - only 18" high.

rediculous ... the ground clearance is actually fine ... but when your car stops at your waist? lol

and what is with that rediculously small stearing wheel? ... and what if your going fast enough that a bug smacks you in the face?

*sigh*

I smell disaster waiting to happen. Imagine one small rock at 80 mph to the face.

That is EXACTLY what I was thinking when I first saw this thing. Sadly enough, my friends uncle a long time ago (~20 years ago; before I knew him) got decapitated while driving a go-cart on a busy street...not smart at all

...and to think this idiot probably spent a nice chunk of $$$ on that metal carpet. lol

I seriously hopes he doesn't actually drive that thing, that it is just a display and he shows it off, offroad that is.

Not even an ML sound system is going to mask THOSE rattles.
