It’s actually a really impressive bit of engineering and craft. Making the doors work around the back wheel wells because of the extreme chassis shortening is difficult work.

Also the fuel tank, drive shaft, exhaust, brake lines, and wiring all had to be modified to work too. Even the parking brake would have had to be changed to keep working.

Every time I saw one of those I wanted to put a penny in the back to make it do a wheelie.

I’ve seen a couple people with those Smart Fortwos driving around with a big turn key sticking out the back as a joke.

The ones painted like the yellow and orange toy cars make me unreasonably happy.

I would unironically love to drive something like that. Yes, I see the many ridiculous things about it. Don’t care!

I don’t know what that means, but I’m upvoting it because I feel like I should!

You wouldn’t. It will be quite gutless, even if re-geared, and the steering incredibly washy. Slight uphill will be your nemesis.

Good point, I was imagining a fairly idealized version of it I suppose.

Bet that would be fun to take off road. The dimensions are similar to a jeep.

I was thinking it is probably a Jeep frame.

I imagine that more trucks would look like this if they were actually used the way certain people claim.

Yeah, its like someone tried to convert a Toyota pickup into a 2-door jeep.

I’m actually really down with this concept.
