June 25, 2007: Japanese D.I.Y. cars

Wouldn't be legal in the USA - it doesn't have airbags, and crumple zones and all the other required safety stuff (shoulder belts etc) - heck, I'd be a CAR that sized in the USA would have about 5K worth of safety and anti-smog stuff on it - by law. Heck, starting sometime in the next few years, cars HAVE to have electronic vehicle stability controls

For 60% of what I do, one of those little Cushman carts would work. The police around here use them, but for you and me, they are not street legal
