Thx for sharing Geoff, but my first reaction after reading it is:

Meh, another shiny mall cruiser.

I’d rather see a well maintained, practical tow/transport vehicle that is still going strong after 13-18 years with a few dings, rust and scratches for added character.

Do you open the door with a tool?

When you open the door does a rope ladder fall out?

Totally stupid, impractical and WORTH LESS.

I'm sorry, but there is no way in hell that I could drive that thing with all of the stickers/decals slapped on at random angles like that, no way!




And the of course the lift looks big and kinda dumb too.
