Coming Soon From Government Motors
This is not a joke, but an actual product scheduled to be produced by the
bloated farce that was once General Motors but has now been
nationalized by the Obama regime:
It's called a PUMA, which stands for Personal Urban
Mobility and
Accessibility. Top speed is 35 mph. No word on how much they'll cost,
but don't worry, they'll be subsidized by the government, just like the
UAW slackers who will make them during the brief gaps between their
coffee breaks.

WhoHoo, love bugs, can't wait to make one of these into a Baja...well that won't work. Ok I'll make it into a sand rail, hmmm not likely. Grocery getter...= starvation. Golf cart...= too bourgeois. Whats left, Presidential Sedan and flagship for Gubment Motors?
ReplyDeleteThey should have called it the "Grease Spot", but it could be useful if it rains inside the mall.

ReplyDeleteI have to say that I had a 1972 Super Beetle and LOVED it. To this day I regret selling it.
ReplyDeleteThat being said, what sense does that PUMA thing make? It can only carry one person, so the fact that it will cost 1/4 - 1/3 of a "real" car is quickly outstripped by it's utter uselessness. Not even any room for your bag 'o nuts from the "organic nut hut"... Plus, 25 MPH with a 35 mile range?
Verification word: BOONKS
Just think of the product liability lawsuits for negligently failing to design a crashworthy vehicle! We plaintiff lawyers rejoice in our good fortune . . . .

I'm reminded of Mr. Garrison's invention, the "It". A take-off of the segway that's a bit more uncomfortable to use, but everyone has to have one. I can't find a clip of the demonstration, just a link to Matt and Trey's commentary on the episode (language warning):

Juice,
ReplyDeleteGiven Dr. Rodger's image, I think "helmuts" is OK.
Ya mean, like a motorcycle or scooter? How original!

ReplyDeleteI want to see one of those dumbasses try to drive one of those toy cars around here in winter when it's -10 degrees and there's foot of snow on the ground.
ReplyDeleteI heard somewhere on TV that Segway and GM were teaming up... I give you the result. If that thing don't have the guts of a Segway, I'll eat my hat.
ReplyDeleteThrow out the batteries and electric motors to make room for a couple of chain saw engines under the seat and have some real fun.

Ha! Remember the HUUUGE buildup and resounding pffft of the Segway?
ReplyDeleteI predict a replay.
for the cost of the electronics and gyroscopes,they could build a smart car or even an electric Cobalt that would be better accepted by the public.
That toy wouldn't even work on the sidewalks and I can't imagine any sane city allowing it on the streets. I still laugh out loud at the people in their smirt cannolis as I drive by solo in my SUV.

It would look really cute on the front bumper of my F-250. Well, the bumper might clear it, but it would sure dress up that front pumpkin.
ReplyDeleteveriword eporme, not yet, got a ways to go first.
