How does he drive that thing without arms, anyway?

You ever see that episode of South Park where Mr. Garrison invents a new form of transportation so he doesn't have to go through the airline anymore?

That might work with a helicopter, but he has to use pedals as well as steer in a car.

[-] einlander@lemmy.world 6 points 2 years ago

Driving a car with a yoke is completely doable.

[-] samus12345@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

With no fingers? Seems difficult.

[-] TheTetrapod@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

Depends how prehensile his body is, could be pressing the gas with his... torso?

[-] einlander@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

I imagine the further the yoke is moved the faster it goes.

Like the walk stick for an fps.

When you're trying to merge but they won't let you in: "Hey buddy! Give peas a chance!"

[-] LouNeko@lemmy.world 6 points 2 years ago

Peas was never an option.

As a kid we used to go to the Beaulieu Motor Museum quite a lot, and I was always fascinated by the Outspan orange car, which is almost identical to this. But orange.

I’m assuming the Pea is also based on a Mini.

A bright orange car shaped like an orange, belting around a track at almost certainly dangerous speeds.

That's the first car I've ever seen that I instantly desired to own with all my heart. Maybe I can just get my honda repainted that color...would that satisfy the craving?

[-] rumba@lemmy.zip 3 points 2 years ago

I want one big enough to mount a recliner in it.

Maybe make it a short range EV....

I legit want one, although at 6'3" I probably can't fit

[-] rumba@lemmy.zip 2 points 2 years ago

Looks like it would scale well.

[-] LifeInMultipleChoice@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

Looks like the engine is in the back, and seat is placed so you shouldn't have weight distribution issues, it shouldn't actually roll. Your head should have plenty of room. Now all we need to do is shorten your legs 🤔

This is what happens when you fart in a smart car.

[-] ininewcrow@lemmy.ca 7 points 2 years ago

I GOTTA GO PEE!!!

60mph in that? Someone felt suicidal...

[-] Im_old@lemmy.world 9 points 2 years ago

You just need a 5 point seatbelt and an helmet. Maybe a padded jacket too. And a mouthguard. Look, if you are not ready to really commit to the game you are better off not playing.

Also padded gloves and motorcycle boots.

[-] LifeInMultipleChoice@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

I wore flip flops and T-shirts on motorcycles when I was younger. Helmets not required... This thing looks super fucking safe to me.

[-] Ferrous@lemmy.ml 1 points 2 years ago

It is. Sounds like it was made to be in an ad ad.

This is what happens when an isetta eats shellfish

[-] stardustpathsofglory@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago

Autobots roll out!

[-] Blackmist@feddit.uk 4 points 2 years ago

At least it looks like you can get in and out of the doors at the side, rather than the BMW Isetta which amusingly coupled the front-only opening with having no reverse gear.

[-] shoulderoforion@fedia.io 3 points 2 years ago

"squirrel!!!! ........... and we're rolling, and we're rolling"

[-] beebarfbadger@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

Try to drive past a playground but the kids play soccer with your car for 20 minutes.

[-] DevOops@lemmy.eco.br 3 points 2 years ago

"Let's roll"

[-] Treczoks@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

Put a stem on top, call it Apple Car or iCar.

[-] Deconceptualist@lemm.ee 3 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

They better put that in Forza Horizon 6 so I can at least drive it virtually

[-] Shardikprime@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

"Aw you two look cute, like a pair of peas in a pod, that it's also a pea. A peapod, if you will"

"I will not"

[-] Frostbeard@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

I couldnt get in even if Anna Kendrick sat there in a bikini telling me to get in. Way to tall and wide for that thing.

[-] Akasazh@feddit.nl 2 points 2 years ago

Viscous players (from deadlock) over the moon

Life is simpler in the pea
