In the late 70s this car called the "Interstyl Hustler 6" was an exciting new concept in personal transport. They also came in white, which made it look more like a golf cart. If it reminds you of heathkit project well, that's because it came in a box and you built it yourself. https://www.aronline.co.uk/cars/towns/hustler/

@futurebird Seems pretty neat, though I guess you can't really get even a minor fender bender without it becoming major.Seems an interesting choice that it has four wheels at the back instead of two.

@futurebird Jeez that's ugly – the lines and proportions are terrible. Of course I want one but that's beside the point. Were these street legal? Looks flimsy

@futurebird I wish the whole concept of kit cars had taken off here in the United States. Given the high price of cars today it might if we can get the size of cars down to a reasonable one again.Also kit planes are a thing. Build a plane that you can then fly at a fraction of the cost of buying a stardard plane! You can't fly them commercially, though. There's a whole magazine dedicated to them: https://www.kitplanes.com/

@futurebird just imagine. That, solar panels on the roof, a 35 mph speed limit, and excellent rail lines if you needed to go long distance.

@futurebird With names like "Hustler" and "Hobo" it's clear an American speaker of English was not involved.

@ND3JR @futurebird one thing that planes don't have to worry about, at least in a structural design way: peer to peer collisions.

@futurebird On this episode of Lateral, the puzzle was about how a "kit car" avoided tariffs. I wonder if this car managed to do the same.https://youtu.be/fJxYuu0BV9g?feature=shared

@futurebird@PalmAndNeedle They do happen, just not nearly as frequently. As evidenced by the fact that when two planes collide it makes the news.

@futurebird Looks just like Elon’s truck! I bet it’s safer, though. But who’s going to know? DOGE got rid of the office the oversees auto safety.

@futurebird I'd just be driving around with my garden. I mean... it's a perfectly viable vehicle *AND* greenouse!!!! I need this in my life. Or perhaps to live in it.

@futurebird @Jorsh Not sure calling *anything* a Hustler in the 1970s was any kind of good idea.

@futurebird @lisamelton my favorites were 70s attempts at electric vehicles.https://youtu.be/ilIozuRmTQs?si=xR9pg2an5fWV-YBZhttps://youtu.be/FyZd4_2unFM?si=ENStIl-jF3YxHwd_They all seemed like they were probably built in a shed by someone named Jeff, who was probably at least a little drunk
