Three letters... W T F?

[dapimpstress]

people on bainbridge island have those. they are the ultimate yuppie car.

[veN]

Those are little and cute and seem practical, but they dont come with sunroof, leather heated seats or blue dashlights, so no thanks! *snob*

[IntakE]

haha
they look funny

[hardstylin]

that is THE dorkiest car ive ever seen, i stick to my challenger haha.

[pbreak]

Not only that but the range is pathetic, numerous electric cars on the market have waaaay better range - they should talk to my battery people.

[ash1ee]

and you'd sure survive any sort of collision.

it's lamer looking than a smart car. and i didnt think that was possible.
