I wouldn't be seen dead in that thing.
it might be fast, but electric powered cars in my opinion don't procure the same feeling and sound as petrol powered cars. This one also looks very ugly.

This is not Electrical!!! It's a proper RWD Petrol BMW!!!!

I like it! It's not fast, it sure won't turn well, but it has lots of style!!

Probably you'd be much more noticeable in Monte Carlo in one of those than in a e46 M3!!

Indeed! A car that has the door placed in the front can't be nothing else than cool

Steve Urkel was socially awkward, but was endearing to some people, and his popularity with the fans made him one of America's favorite nerds. After he caused an accident (usually because of his clumsiness or when one of his inventions backfired), he would often say his catchphrases "Did I do that?," "Who cut the cheese," "I'm proud I did it," and "Look what you did."

He drives a BMW Isetta, enjoys going to polka dances, plays the accordion and his favorite food is cheese (although he also likes frog legs, chicken feet and anchovy paste, among other foods)
Seriously uncool
