IMO still funny, though. I liked the scenes going in and out of buildings....with no reverse gear.

Almost reminds me of when I test-drove a Lotus Elise. The Elise was a little longer and wider than these two-called "cars"...but the roof was about a foot off the ground LOL.

Something else that is very small today...the Corbin Sparrow, but the Sparrow is a pure-electric. I've seen the Sparrow at the D.C. auto show, and one of the local businesses in our town uses one.

If anybody is ever in Nashville, you need to go to the Lane Motor Museum. They have a whole warehouse full of these weird micro-cars from post war Europe.
