At least it looks like you can get in and out of the doors at the side, rather than the BMW Isetta which amusingly coupled the front-only opening with having no reverse gear.

Put a stem on top, call it Apple Car or iCar.

Try to drive past a playground but the kids play soccer with your car for 20 minutes.

How does he drive that thing without arms, anyway?

You ever see that episode of South Park where Mr. Garrison invents a new form of transportation so he doesn't have to go through the airline anymore?

That might work with a helicopter, but he has to use pedals as well as steer in a car.

Depends how prehensile his body is, could be pressing the gas with his... torso?

Driving a car with a yoke is completely doable.

[–] samus12345@lemmy.world 1 points 22 hours ago

With no fingers? Seems difficult.

This is what happens when you fart in a smart car.

As a kid we used to go to the Beaulieu Motor Museum quite a lot, and I was always fascinated by the Outspan orange car, which is almost identical to this. But orange.

I’m assuming the Pea is also based on a Mini.

A bright orange car shaped like an orange, belting around a track at almost certainly dangerous speeds.

When you're trying to merge but they won't let you in: "Hey buddy! Give peas a chance!"

[–] LouNeko@lemmy.world 5 points 8 hours ago

Peas was never an option.

[–] pearsaltchocolatebar@discuss.online 13 points 1 day ago (2 children)

I legit want one, although at 6'3" I probably can't fit

Looks like the engine is in the back, and seat is placed so you shouldn't have weight distribution issues, it shouldn't actually roll. Your head should have plenty of room. Now all we need to do is shorten your legs 🤔

[–] rumba@lemmy.zip 2 points 23 hours ago

Looks like it would scale well.

[–] verity_kindle@sh.itjust.works 12 points 1 day ago (2 children)

That's the first car I've ever seen that I instantly desired to own with all my heart. Maybe I can just get my honda repainted that color...would that satisfy the craving?

[–] rumba@lemmy.zip 3 points 23 hours ago

I want one big enough to mount a recliner in it.

Maybe make it a short range EV....

They better put that in Forza Horizon 6 so I can at least drive it virtually

[–] dadGPT@lemmy.world 7 points 1 day ago

60mph in that? Someone felt suicidal...

[–] Im_old@lemmy.world 8 points 23 hours ago (1 children)

You just need a 5 point seatbelt and an helmet. Maybe a padded jacket too. And a mouthguard. Look, if you are not ready to really commit to the game you are better off not playing.

Also padded gloves and motorcycle boots.

I wore flip flops and T-shirts on motorcycles when I was younger. Helmets not required... This thing looks super fucking safe to me.

[–] Ferrous@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 day ago

It is. Sounds like it was made to be in an ad ad.

"Aw you two look cute, like a pair of peas in a pod, that it's also a pea. A peapod, if you will"

"I will not"

This is what happens when an isetta eats shellfish

I couldnt get in even if Anna Kendrick sat there in a bikini telling me to get in. Way to tall and wide for that thing.
