It's pleasantly surprising how much positive vibes you can get driving an unusual car. On a business trip last year, I arrived late at night to the hotel and there was a rank of the smallest cars I'd ever seen:

The next morning I was able to hire one out to travel to the venue. At a pitstop on the way, another driver followed me into the carpark and excitedly asked me where I found the car so that he could go get one too.
To be honest, it wasn't a comfortable or easy drive. The speed topped out at 90kph and the steering felt gravelly. But it was fun getting in and out of the front of the car.
- eru 4mo agoI guess you wouldn't really want to go any faster in this kind of car?
- bel8 4mo agoI guess it's slightly safer than a motorbike.
- n4r9 4mo agoAt 90kph if you go on the motorway/highway then you're often a sitting duck in the slow lane being continuously overtaken by massive lorries. That didn't feel very safe. Arguably you should avoid motorways in these cars, but it was the only sensible route for me.
