I was red and shaped kind of like a roadster, Only had 2 wheels towards the back and it balanced. I recall it being on a comic strip but not shure. I know years ago (20+) I red an article about a guy that built one and it balanced by using 2 smaller wheels inside a radial tire and it looked close to the comic car. Any ideas? I for the life of me can't remember.

Haha, what will GM think of next. :thumbsup:

With a top speed of 35 them things better stay the hell out of 45 mph + zones or i'll hang a magnet outside my truck window and tractor beam them onboard.
These things will never take off, just like the segways didnt, because of one thing - commuting to work. Way too many people have to commute because they either cannot afford to, or like me, could not stand to live in the city. But all that matters is NY and SF...people forget that a great majority of this country is still suburban and spead out...and that we have had vehicles that allow for this kind of travel on a more efficient level for years. They are called bikes, motorcycles and scooters.
So yeah...you go GM...nother great idea thats sure to take off and save you....dont forget the extra plastic! :D

You must be old to remember that comic strip.
