My dream car!

[VTX-Dan]

My sister has a Smart, but it won't do that.

those cars make me laugh everytime I see one on the road.  It's just all of a sudden they come outta no where and I automatically make the sound of a weedeater in my head.

I thought they were nothing more than 4 wheel motorcycles but I didn't know they would do that.

Very  video, pretty sure the ones off the show room floor will not run that way

Some of them have Hayabusa engines.......

Does not have a 'busa engine, and yes...there are only 3 lugs per wheel.

Went to a show in Walt Disney Universal Studios in Florida that had some of those cars in the stunt show!
They were very cool!

IMO, I would never own one.  If you are in a major accident (or maybe even a minor one), you can kiss your butt good-bye.  I wonder if the badge on the car flips over to "Dumb Car" after an accident?

Actually, they are safer than you might think.
I know...I read this on the internet, so it HAS to be true <sarcasm>, but I figure the IIHS (the folks who test all cars) ought to be pretty legit.

Now that's something you don't see everyday. Very impressive!
I'll have to tell my wife about it since I was considering getting one to throw in the back of the truck for a spare vehicle......
