That car looks like it was designed after Richard Scarry...

Only it isn't red, not an apple and not a helicopter.

Have they never heard of fineness ratio? I guess that's why it's in the UnAerodynamic thread.

I prefer something a little more utile, like a Lamborghini:



Lots more.

Even if they had used the top from another double decker for the 3rd tier they would have left its line indication empty.

You guys up north have likely seen these before. They used these for ice fishing back in the day.
