Met up with my buddy yesterday, learned he bought a '77 Citicar (one of these, tho not this nice: http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/2/23/Citicar.jpg/250px-Citicar.jpg), so I was poking around on the net and came across this interesting freak. It's got highly unconventional proportions and it's apparently fast as hell, so I find it mildly interesting:

It would be amusing if it weren't so sad, soon we'll all be driving something that large, thanks to some temporary residents of Washington, DC.

If I could get some retro-deco body on it, I'd run errands in it.

George Clooney has one, I think.

Yeah, You could Balthysize one--add taiifins, white wall tires, lots of chrome..

WWs not my style; B-59 has blackwalls. However, a single dorsal fin on this might work

But a streamliner body would be tops: http://blog.hemmings.com/wp-content/uploads//2010/05/Springstreamliner_1000.jpg

Now that looks wicked!

I've sat in one. Absolutely wretched interior......Imagine J.C. Whitney had a yard sale... then imagine there was a pile of stuff that didn't sell..... THAT is what ended up in this thing

Surprising, since the video says the car cost $80K to build. Never heard of it before yesterday.

Still; an interior that small should be relatively easy to spruce up; it's the mechanicals that have to be right.

I the steering column, and some of the interior door panel parts are from an S-10 "parts car"

That one is actually spruced up a bit. I sat in the blue one.

Looks narrow. For a tiny single seat car, I'd rather have an Ariel Atom (way cooler looking).

Taillights look like extras from the Isuzu Rodeo

ps.

Why does a car with only one seat need two doors?

So the driver can get out on either side.

Vid says it's a 2-seater; Olds- can you confirm?

Interior looks decent for the $10K price he says he'd like to hit... but I didn't sit in one.

Yes it is a 2 seater. Seating arrangement is like the 2-seater fighter aircraft. Olds and I both sat in that dinky two years ago in NAIAS.

This would be fun to have body shells that could be swapped out to give it alternative looks. But is it even legal for the roads here. Maybe considering they brought in the coffin smart car.
