They sell well here in my locale, but I never saw much future in one for myself. If you want a motorcycle get one, if you want a convertible, get one. To me, these are like a For Ranchero or a Chevy El Camino. They weren't a good car and they weren't a good truck, but they looked cool...

They just don't look like they'd be fun to drive or easy to drive on a nice twisty. Seems like it
would be a lot like running a sidecar rig, always worrying about the inside tire coming off the
ground on a sharp curve.

These things do seem pretty stable. They were keeping up with me ;-)


Decades and decades ago, I got a ride at Lime Rock race track in a Lotus
Super Seven. It was, to put it mildly, an exciting ride. Now, a more
modern version of that vehicle is made by Caterham Cars. The one I rode
in was much more "vintage" than this modern version, but the fun factor
was similar, I am su

The Lotus super seven, Elite and a couple,others were sold as kit cars in
England for years until the laws were changed. About 50% of the price in
England was Tax, and a kit car was exempted. I think there were 7 parts to
put together.
