That's actually kind of dangerous to drive, even a very slow speed impact would absolutely shatter and leave the driver not only exposed to the other car/barrier, but also the ground and everything else. People ejected from cars via windows/sunroofs tend to fare very poorly, and the same is true if your car stops being a car all around you.
Good thing it's probably not very fast. Or road legal. Still neat though.

- village-idiot 8y agoOn a closed course yes.
- mikeash 8y agoI can’t imagine it would ever be driven anywhere else.
