The nice thing about this is that no matter which way you go when you lose control — and you will lose control — you know it’s gonna be a high-side.

The paint and shine on that 4 wheeler is hard on my old eyes.
True. Even it it’s a fun product, the presentation makes it look like something that only a young Vanilla Ice should ride.
…and you know that there is NO way that it will not end up on top of you in that high-side.
I almost had a 3wheeler roll on top of me. Because I was a dumbass and wanted to see if it would go up a steep hill in my work parking lot. The answer: For the most part
Looks like a prop from Road Warrior: The Musical.

I found this brochure for the Spanish-built Renault 7 at http://storm.oldcarmanualproject.com/. Given the American preference for trunked cars over hatchbacks, would this have helped Renault in the USA? It could have been part of the imported R5/LeCar range as early as the beginning in 1976.

Damnit, I can only want so many cars in life.
Couple of days ago was discussion about stupid car co. names somewhere here. I learned that there’s Italian outfit SCAM which builds offroad versions of Fiat and Iveco vans. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SCAM_Srl

I now wish that SCAM built the Charade.
