never, i would never trust sumthing that small

[deadtrend1]

seen that awhile ago on break.com.

pretty amazing, just unfortunate that your body can't handle that fast of a decelleration

They should really test it by driving it with the tractor trailers on 78 West. Unlike a wall, a TT will push back and keep moving you.

Least impressive part of those tiny cars is MPG. C&D just tested one and they got ~30mph mixed driving. You'd think that thing would get 60 mpg, lol.

yea right!

I don't see the spot on the back where I put a penny and make it do wheelies!

edit: that comment may be before some of your' time. Others may remember the Tonka "Turbo Tricksters" I was referring to .. :)

Yea, I remember them!

3 cylinder, 70hp, runs on premium, and mileage is only so-so (considering).

I wander if the European version gets better mileage. Those thongs are everywhere over there.

I noticed that too...I like how they taught the safety, but I'm pretty sure you wouldn't have any legs with something like that. And the whiplash would be pretty fierce.

should i? there's a joke in there somewhere. but i think it isn't the time or the place. i'll just point it out...god its right there too. european....

i gotta say for wat it is that's not bad for a 70mph crash. i bet a third gen would be worse or at least just as bad. there's a dude in montclair that has one. and like he said, it may only get about 37 mpg (wat he gets) but with a 8 gallon gas tank it only costs 25-30 to fill up. that's where you save the money.

how? by filling up more often or buy not buy as much gas at once?

[JerzyIroc]

take two cars that have a 320 mile range on a tank. one has a 13 gallon tank the other an 8 gallon. at 3.50 a gallon it'll cost 45.5 to fill up. at 12000 miles a year you'd fill up 37.5 times a year. that's 1706.25 dollars a year. at 8 gallons it would cost 28 to fill up. at 12000 miles you'd spend 1050 on gas. that's a big difference. especially when a car with 13 gallons getting 320 miles on a tank is almost 25 mpg which isn't bad imagine getting worse gas mileage

Didn't US get a different version of them. in Europe they are diesel powered and here not so much. But than again i might be wrong.

that's not what you said. the way you said it you were portraying that filling up more often saves you money, not the better mpg

[Iroc-z86]

well maybe we can use them in demo derby's?
