This is a most fascinating car, however it is not practical for the real world of driving as I know it.
#1: It does not look safe to me. The weight makes it sound like a car made of tin foil.
#2: At first the drivers of these cars no doubt will get pulled over by cops that don't know what on earth they are driving! (ok, that's a fine line)
#3: Most importantly, can ya just imagine trying to drive this thing in any sort of bad weather? A little rain and I would fear it losing traction, and we can not always predict when and where it will rain. Then lets say, it's December and you wake up to 10 inches of snow on the ground. Even with the roads cleared would YOU want to be driving this thing on snowy days?
#4: Those rear wheels are ripe for most anything to get STUCK between them and the wheel wall. Snow, mud, etc. could easily get packed in there causing a sever drag.
It would be cool to drive on nice dry summer days, just like many other cars. But I for one would hate to drive it in bad weather, nor would I feel very safe crashing it. It's weight is so light you would be "squashed like a bug" I have to agree.
I would like to see it test driven in bad weather. Otherwise it should be noted as being only a fair-weather only car. Nice on nice days, but it would seem dangerous in not so great weather, (imho).
