So I guess I give up $5000 cars don't exist. It's like the moon landing, faked in some Hollywood studio. Dang.
Seems if Animal Planet did a series called "Finding $5000 Car" it would go on week after week with people making funny honking noises in mall and freeways, interviewing witnesses, and turning up; nothing... until one day they do "Finding $5000 Car International" and suddenly it's more real then killer Yetis in Russia.
Glad to see hope is still alive out there for our political system actually getting results based on voting. So say there were two massive, groundswell, wave midterm elections in a row. I just saying hypothetically, somewhere on another planet, certainly not in the USA in 2010 and 2014. Then things would really start to happen right?
Also funny all the people bashing these Indian cars are in love with the Elio over on it's thread. 3 wheels good, 4 wheels bad, got it. Lets just drive that Elio into a 40 mph offset crash barrier and see what it looks like. I think I could put 100,000 miles on some of these cars and never even reach 40 mph once. But your right, it's crazy talk to even let me try. I guess I can get back on my 430 pound motorcycle where I'm really safe sliding around on oil and gravel hardly seen by the average driver.
Actually all this talk has given me another idea. I was reading the US import laws that make it illegal to import these cars (if they did exist which apparently they clearly do not) and I saw where maybe for off-road use they would be ok. That got me thinking of building an awesome go-cart track using only off the shelf Indian cars. How fun would that be? I'd call it the "Jaipur Experience", no passport or airline tickets required! I might use Duncan's idea above with the rotted meat because it seems montezuma's revenge while driving would be an important part of the Jaipur Experience. Maybe I can also work elephants into it now that Ringling Brothers isn't using them.
