Lions, tigers, and three-wheeled cars oh my!
I've really been meaning to write about this since I got here, but I just keep forgetting.
The strangest looking motor vehicle ever has to be the Robin Reliant...
That's right. It's a three wheeled car. And there are too many of them in this country. They actually aren't very common at all, in fact they're just a weird cult car that they made from 1973-2002...but the cult seems to have it's headquarters near our house so we see them every day.
Firstly, they look like something that should come out of the Soviet Union in the 1980s. You know, with rationing and all they just couldn't afford that fourth wheel.
Secondly, they freak me out. I'm convinced that if you get the balance wrong then it's going to tip over. Simon has told me several times that the engineers work to prevent that from happening, but what if a really heavy person is driving? And every time we get close to one it always seems like there's a driver, front passenger, and back passenger sitting right in the middle of the car. Simon says it's coincidence and you can drive it with any seating configuration and no one will tip over, but I'm highly unconvinced.
Also, what happens if you're driving along and you blow out your front tire? You flip over and die! When my trusty T-1000 broke it's wheel-thingy we didn't flip over and die, we just went off the road.
Third, it's just friggin weird to see a three wheeled car.
4-wheeled cars 4 lyfe.
