One Person Cars?
Is the future filled with “One Person Cars”? I don’t think so but they may become somewhat popular. In Europe the Smart Car by Daimler Benz is a two seater and there is the single seater Tango being build in limited (very limited) numbers. The Tango, pictured, is built in annual batches of 100 by Commuter Cars of Spokane, Washington. But don’t think small means cheap — the Smart Car costs about as much as a compact and the first Tangos (the T600) cost over $100,000 (to offset the high custom manufacturing costs)!

These are so adorable. Not sure it’ll sell in America, though. The thought of driving around in one of these while SUVs and semi-trucks go zooming by is a bit terrifying. Not to mention, with our country’s obesity epidemic, I’m not sure many of us could actually fit in one!

obesity is not an epidemic, lazy fat people don’t care about themselves, and blame everone else for their disgusting bodies.
