Yea, they are all over the place here in Austin. One cleaning company has them all painted up and running around. I have no idea how they get a vacuum in there?

Made by Daimler. 3 to 6 Month waiting list. No one ever thought that they would sell so well in America. Production has been increased to meet demand!

I bet that waiting list is going away with $1.4 gas. Imagine getting hit in that beer can a good size bicycle will total that thing. There was a few around here awhile ago but i believe a hawk carried them away

Watch the above video.

The car is a veritable indestructible steel cage with PLASTIC body parts. ABSOLUTELY ingenious!

That's good, but if you do take a hit in that thing, how long before it stops rolling?
You could end up in a softball game, as the ball.

I get it now, it's a before and after picture. They took a shopping cart and wrapped it in plastic! That IS ingenious!

Homeless guys have been doing that around here for years....

Re: What The HECK Is This?????

There is quite a few of them around here, the guy down the block has one and a
Sprinter, I think the car would fit in the back. One of them around here has a wind
up knob on the back like on wind up toys, it's pretty funny.
