The Return of the Sparrow Electric Vehicle?
H0NGK0NGPH00EY writes "I have been keeping my eye on the Sparrow electric vehicle, following last year's bankruptcy of its creator, and recently noticed that the brightly-colored three-wheeled electric commuter car has been reborn. Myers Motors will begin selling an upgraded version this summer, after having acquired the rights and tooling from Phoenix Environmental Motors, who mention this on their official homepage."
..first it was a sparrow, then it was a dodo, now it's a phoenix?

Or, just buy a regular car.

What if you have to fit wife, kids, and dogs into your car?
Some might consider it an advantage that all of those entities won't fit in the car.
It looks like a giant duck bill... the daffy mobile

And what is its average airspeed velocity when unladen?
What I always needed for our coconut migration plan.
If you own one of these odds are your a nerd. So no wife and thus no kid. Now I WOULD bitch about the lack of room for adding computers, gps and Mp3 systems.

I always liked the compromise of my FIAT 124 spider or Triumph GT6. Petite little chippies could slide right into the passenger seat, but 250 pound baboons couldn't even attempt it.
They screwed with the Miata by making it fit the average American. I hate that.
My old RD400 was cool too, not only could you fit the chippie on the back, but she had to hang on, and it was really easy to ditch her if she started to get too whiney.

reminds me of the old joke...
a couple of solicitors are sitting round discussing strange wills that they had executed...
the first tells of his client who had always loved golf, and wanted to be buried with his golf clubs...so come the funeral the solicitor puts the clubs on top of the coffin as per his clients wishes.
The second's client loved his dog, and wanted to take it with him, so come the funeral the solicitor takes a shotgun to the dog and puts him in the coffin as per his clients wishes
That's nothing says the last solicitor, my client loved money so much that he wanted to be buried with his entire 25 milion pound fortune...
Surely you didn't do it? the others ask...
But of course, he replied...
I put a personal cheque for the full amount in the coffin....
Since all of the journalists doing standups in front of Three Mile Island later died from leukemia, one can conclude that Teds Oldsmobile must have been one hell of a killer machine ;-)
send + more == money?
