According to Wikipedia, the Mighty Boy weighs 530-550 kg, or 1168-1212 lbs, giving it a power-to-weight ratio of 47.9 hp/ton for the lighter model or 46.2 for the heavier model. Still marginally better than the Beetle, but acceleration should be about the same (if not worse) due to the extra aerodynamic drag caused by…

Drop the price about $6500 and we’ll see how it competes with the MRolla, 1000 cubic inch Cadillac Eldorado, and twin-engined Mazda MPV at LeMons.

Maybe if I had a car or had ever been on a date, I’d have something to contribute here. Being a freshman in college without a car (or license) or a girlfriend sucks.

They even still have the license plate from the van thy were cannibalized from.

My first thought when I saw that was, “Are those plastic fork handles?”

Started on Houston...

Found some pretty spectacular stuff on the Austin Craigslist, will check Houston later for the ghetto whip limos.

No doubt at least one of these will end up in a LeMons race somewhere... K-it FWD round 2?

I’m sure they would, if they could legally own firearms.

Electrolytic decomposition of water is a decent option.

Just carry a cordless drill in your trunk and drill a few lovely little holes through the glass directly under the suction cups. Barnacle removed.

My parents made the mistake of buying an ex-rental 2010 Caravan after their 2005 Mazda MPV died - at 150 miles, three cylinders lost compression in a week after they ignored a check engine light for three months (this was after it failed an emissions test) and my dad sold it for $3000. The car was also on its third…

Looks like a Hot Wheels car, and that’s not a good thing. CP.

CP on this one considering it would probably be cheaper to buy and restore the one that’s on my local Craigslist for $500: https://austin.craigslist.org/cto/5822946218.html

I’d buy it, if only because I could sell those fugly rims to the local beaners to get back half of what I paid for it. Hell, I could probably sell the whole car to one of them for a bit more than 5500.

The lack of rust holes isn’t that surprising on a Trabant, since the entire body was made of plastic. Frame’s probably rusted to death considering the wheel rust though.

Should’ve just let it die.
