The question is not if you could, but if you would want to. For fun, certainly. Maybe in the mall or something like that if it is allowed. Maybe even around town though I'd worry about people being able to see me if I'm on the streets. Depends on the town and maybe the time of day. Crowded sidewalks could be a problem too but maybe. To get from here to town, nope.

It definitely looks... interesting. What is it? Futuristic baby stroller? Whatever it is, it looks like it would be hard to drive it without tipping it over.

And are the wheels (or what I am assuming are wheels) meant to move? Or is the ovoid shape of the wheels just because of the angle of which the picture was taken?

The wheels are treads, like a tank. It uses Segway technology.

It's a futuristic concept meant to help you get around town.

Google "fiat eye". Steve felt like making us work this morning.

well, if you could wedge my 'oversized' body into that thing maybe. sort of looks like it's a protective bubble wheelchair. certainly wouldn't want to use it for picking up groceries or the kids! :rolleyes:

I see oldsters with small cars and think "they are so smart!"

Meanwhile, I'm trying to fit a 3/4 ton Dodge into a parking space. Shoot, I'm in a parking lot right now, DW 's MD's. I had to back this thing up in their driveway so I could make a too sharp turn to get into the far row where I've got some room with few cars back here. (Make her walk and get a little exercise :D.) Uh oh, here's another Dodge backing in beside me!!

Do I have to remind anyone who now owns Dodge & Chrysler??

;) No, a covered electric wheel chair ...

I know what Bob means. I used to live near a car dealership. Out walking 1 day I see the "new" Suzuki has an unlocked door. Quick, before the salesman descends on me with outstretched talons, I jump in ... so to speak. I couldn't sit upright!! Salesman show up I'd have a ready response, as he's dragging me outta the car, "you gotta be kidding!"

Still, I think it was my brother's old GMC, he'd hit a bump and I'd drive that metal button on top my ball cap right into the top of my head ..!

Costume fit, a little Crisco, I could rule!
