There's always a car at the lower end of the quality and performance scale, no matter what country it is produced in.

Beach Boy's song comes to mind...

I Get Around





Actually 3 wheelers have been around since the 50's in Europe. Good for small streets in large cities with limited parking.

Our brother owned a '72 Vega that we considered the worst car GM ever manufactured. It was great compared to this thing.

We trudge on (appalled).

Thanks for the fine responses..yes I posted it "just for laughs" and did not mean to offend anyone not even the Hoffman family. Watch for this rig at Barrett Jackson go for half a million, lol! I don't want anyone here trading in their Corvette for a Hoffman...please!
