    awesome pics! have you checked out the kei cars? the honda beat is a 660cc turbo, mid-engined, micro miata. now that’s downsizing i could live with. there’s one for sale by a specialty importer near me for $7000 cdn…. wonder if a bigger student loan would cover that?

    Incredibly awesome ideas, man! Quite practical,indeed…I’d still stick to my motorcycles though…I get claustrophobic on really small cars. 😀
