    Default Reliant Robin electric car...wtf?

    I saw one of these in Euless driving my kids to daycare. Had a huge ELECTRIC sticker on it. Oddly enough it was still shiny side down and driving.

    Why in hell would anyone think it was a good idea to buy/build one of these and drive it on public roads? Other than I guess the OMG Look at me in my quirky electric car status...

    Couldn't get my phone out quick enough for a pic but looked something like this. Truely hideous.

    It probably doesn't weigh anything. Beyond that, you're right Sucky car.

    ...and across the line.

    ^well at least the wheels are on the right end of that one. Looks pretty fun actually, but i'd rather one of these.

    Unless you live in commiefornia.

    R33 GTRs are now legal to import as well.
