Let’s not forget the infamous Pussycar (really).

I would analogize it to discussing the etiquette of, say, pot smoking, which also enjoys checkerboard legality across the 50 States of our Union.

The Mini Hustler. ... The Mini Hustler. A Terrarium on wheels.

The Urbanina was a mid-60’s city car concept that was basically a wicker basket on wheels powered by a 175cc, 8.5HP motor. Part of the idea was that you would have several interchangeable bodies, so you could sit in a metal bucket instead of the basket if you wanted to.

Along similar lines to the Quasar was the Voiture Électronique Porquerolles. It was meant to revolutionize personal transport, as these things were always supposed to. It had two small electric motors powering the rear wheels and steering was by joystick. They actually built 200 of them between ‘69 and ‘72.

This thing chasing the weiner car.

Its the most expensive car ever built!

The Litestar - designed by aircraft builder Jim Bede, built in Iowa in the 1980s. About 360 were produced and sold, and a lot of them are still on the road today.

Honda Fuya-Jo

Harper Invacar. Designed so the disabled could have a way to get around after WWII. Had a 147cc engine at first, ended production with a 500-600cc. Driven with a tiller instead of a steering wheel and could fit a wheelchair. No foot controls. Kind of like a covered moped for someone who is disabled.

1969 Fascination:

Cadillac Le Monstre!

Since we’re including 3 wheelers in here, I submit the Rivet. It’s a 3 wheeled, 2,000 pound, 500hp, Cadillac powered steampunk looking “trike” that William Shatner is riding cross country as I type this. He’s in MO right now.

Just because...

The Mazda Suitcase Car!

Do concepts count? If so, I nominate the Peugeot Moovie:

I’ve never actually been in one, but I have to imagine an Isetta is the production car that most closely mimics driving a vintage refrigerator.

Nah. In NY (where this writer is located and Gawker’s headquarter’s are located), one is criminally liable for the conduct of another when (1) the person acts with the mental culpability of the underlying offense (and here there aren’t really any offenses that line up with publishing or writing an article describing…

I think I get where you are coming from... Maybe?

Criminal liability can only arise from encouraging speech where 1) the speaker intends for the speech to produce imminent unlawful action and 2) the speech is likely to produce that imminent unlawful action.
