In the “Car World” there are often cars that we think should have never existed. Up until now almost all of these were built under Communist rule, or from those Brits (who we have to prove we’re better than just b/c we’re that rebelous teenager that moved out). For example, the ones from the U.S.S.R. who thought it would be good to have a car made out of leather, or cars that just didn’t work…they also had cars that worked…once. Or any British Leyland car. Although it’s not the U.K.’s fault, even when they were a bunch of commies they didn’t spend any time working to build the cars.
More recently, however, most of these cars that should have never been made have come from parts of Asia and the Pacific Rim. Mainly because they build a car, for way too cheep, and the parts cost too much when they break, and they will, and on top of that the car was designed by the same guy who designed your microwave. Well, there is another car to add to this, frankly a very large list, of new cars that should have never been made. This one, unfortunately, is from the U.S.
That’s right folks, we have the newest in this long line crappy new cars that should have never been made. I think I’ve finally found a new hippy car I dislike more than the Prius (how can I not hate that car, it’s a poser car for people who want to look like they care about the environment, when they’ve actually just done it more harm in a year than I’ve probably done in 4). This car is called the SPIRA (http://spira4u.com/index.html ). Even it’s slogan pisses me off, “SOFT – SAFE – SEXY.” It’s only one of those things…soft. I know this because it’s made out of foam. Yeah, I said foam….it’s made out of foam. And don’t think it doesn’t look like it is. Honestly it looks like a 4 year-old designed this thing, and it should, because it’s made from what the 4 year-old would use to design a car, FOAM!!! It has a 100cc scooter engine in it and says it goes 70mph. I don’t know if I would trust doing 70mph in a foam car that you can pick up with your hands.
I’m the type of guy who wants a car to get around in. Weather this is to get around as fast as I can, or as comfortably as I can, it’s to get around in. I should enjoy getting around in what ever car I’m in. This car wasn’t designed to enjoy. This car was designed to hit someone and the person you hit not to be harmed. Sorry, but I’m actually a good driver, and don’t run around hitting people…well if I do it’s intended. Basically, if you’re going to try to improve on something, get off the car thing. I’m willing to bet we’ve hit the best we’re going to do on that due to laws and all the other crap preventing us from improving this. If you want to improve on something…go for the jet packs. This guy (http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/15/crazy-man-in-peroxide-jetpack-makes-guinness-world-record-attemp/#continued ) just set a new record over the weekend of 68mph. That’s a fine speed to cruze around at. Maybe if it had a longer range we could all have them. That way we can keep the foam where it belongs…a child’s play area!
