Checking out a new mid-engine 4 wheeler at the dealer today

[Stig / Major Tom]

Had my Silveradio F-150i in for an oil change this morning.
Finally got a look at one of these.
I did not think a base model price of $58,000 was unreasonable, because I have seen pickup  trucks on this dealer's lot going for really stupid money....and they don't even have an 8' bed!

This baby is loaded with $30,000 of options.
Noticed that it can rain down into the engine compartment through a pair of mesh grills. ??







I was going to read my book and wait for my truck in this thing.....but my donuts kept sliding off of the carbon fiber inside.

If I bought one it would become a yard ornament since I would probably lose my license .  Or I would be forced to ride a 50cc that didn't require a license.

You have a Silveradio (Silverado?) F150i? i?. What is that? A cross between a Chevy (Silverado), Ford(F150) and a Kymco (i)?

 I saw one at a dealer earlier this year with a $20k ADM. Well over $100k total. Nope. Out of my price range. Then again, so are a lot of farkled new trucks.

Handsome looking car Stig, but out of my league short of a lottery win!  But then if I did win big on the lottery, not sure a 'Vette would be first in line anyway.

Probably would not be my first choice either, I would purchase a Bentley Mulsanne  Actually I'm more of a truck person. You never know when I might run into a good buy on a used Kymco on a trip, LOL.

@Stig
Checked this out today on my ocassional supply trip.
All in all there are 4 wheels too. (pls see pics)
Think this CECCATO had about 40 ccm in the sixties.
Vespa upgrade would be something for @John Grinsel, convertible front loader.
Shop was unfortunately closed until further ..

Sacrilege, I know - but never liked the look of these older Vespas.  The modern ones are pretty enough though. Especially the sleek little Primaveras - If only I was 10" shorter and 75lbs lighter!

Cool bike.

Hmmh..., l have to admit that when we where studying (seventies) some fellow students commuted to faculty by this fashionable italien Vespas, Gileras etc.
At that time l was longing for....but had to use my bycicle to get to the train station, where it was several times stolen, so l had to walk until l got myself an pedalled ride again.
As time goes by, now l could afford such an item, l'm happy with an 10 year old LIKE to tinker with.

C6 Vette has the most balls, imo. I was one time on a local racetrack among the Corvette club of Finland, seemed that it is a bit heavy for the track, maybe best as a gt cruiser in German autobahn. Because of the insane taxes, new Vette is more than 100.000$ at its basic version.
In a way, still, nothing beats cubic inches and v8 / v10 sound.
